This class is intended for free-building with building block technics. Generally we will be creating Great Ball Contraption modules that can be arranged to feed balls from module to module. Requirements for intake and delivery heights and widths are standard for each module. Everything in between is up to your imagination! This is hosted by Byron Robotics. We have all the beams, pins, gears, connectors, motors and controllers required.

This class will utilize building block robots that students may customize to meet increasingly difficult challenges. Students will have their own robot and computer to use in class. Class lessons are designed for students new to building and programming with robots. Students will learn to build and program the robots to navigate a maze, deliver and move objects from target to target, and for the final event, compete against opposing robots in a battle arena.

FIRST LEGO League Challenge is a global robotics competition where teams of 5-6 students strategize, design, build and program custom robots. The game is played on a 4'x8' field with 16-19 "missions". Join us Monday, August 17th for a preview of the 2026-2027 season. The theme this year is BioGlow and we will have the new matt and missions set up. We will go over the FLL program, presentations and competitions. We will also tour the facilities and play with the bots. FLL is a CE program that is run by parent volunteers. To that end, parents are welcome to join in the fun.Sign up for the season by selecting either a Monday/Wednesday practice schedule or a Tuesday/Saturday schedule. Please note that the actual times/dates will depend on the volunteer coaches' schedules so the times and dates may change.
