-->Inspired by Example
We want to take a moment
to refocus the FLL community on one of the core concepts of FIRST LEGO League.
Lately, we have noticed some community members, albeit well-intentioned
community members, post solutions for the current seasons’ Robot Game and robot
design via social media. While sharing is an important part of FLL, we strongly
urge all who post this information to take a close look at what they are
posting. The goal of sharing is to inspire others and to let them experience and
celebrate their own learning process. We encourage all teams to share tips on
the FLL Challenge and respectfully request that solutions be discovered on an
individual basis. We also encourage teams who find inspiration from the FLL
community to use that inspiration to develop their own innovative solutions to
solve Robot Game missions. Thank you.
-->Coming Soon - FLL Global
Innovation Award, Senior Solutions Season
Have an amazing and innovative FLL
Project? Want to help your team win the opportunity to develop their idea
further? Beginning January 17, 2013 (12pm ET), FLL teams will be able to submit
their inventions on the FLL Global Innovation website,
fllinnovation.firstlegoleague.org/, to be considered for the top prize. Voting
opens February 11, 2013 (12pm ET), so you will have plenty of time to tell all
your family, friends, and extended networks to vote for your team’s invention.
* What is the FLL Global Innovation Award?
The FLL Global Innovation
Award is designed to encourage and assist FLL teams to further develop their
innovative solutions to real-world problems.
* We would like to enter. How do
we prepare?
Details on how to enter and what teams should submit are being
finalized. We will release as soon as possible. However, FLL strongly recommends
learning the basics about how to protect your idea before posting it online.
