My 2nd grade daughter earned a place on her school’s FIRST LEGO League (FLL) Robotics team.

“You were chosen based on your ability to work well with your team during tryouts and how well you cooperated with others.

We also looked at your ability to problem solve, on your own and within the group, your endurance with the task, your ability to follow directions, and your handle and care for the pieces, as well as your overall interest and enthusiasm for robotics and the task at hand.”

What a great description of collaborative development! I’m so freakin’ proud.

FIRST is Dean Kamen’s foundation “to create a world where science and technology are celebrated… where young people dream of becoming science and technology heroes”
