LEGO League Robotics

Jefferson Elementary participates in LEGO League Robotics from September through November. This club typically involves 6-8 students in grades 4-6. Team members are recommended by classroom teachers based on set criteria and have previously served on the LEGO League Team or have previously been involved in Spring Robotics. LEGO League team members design and program a robot to compete on a competition board. As they complete various jobs, they earn points. In addition to the robot, LEGO league team members must demonstrate creativity and presentation skills in creating a core value presentation, as well as creating a solution and presenting a skit for a predetermined problem.
