Nature's Fury FLL Challenge revealed to partners...

6/12/2013

Ben, Harris and I finished our second day of the FIRST LEGO League Organizers Conference in New Hampshire today.  We've learned a lot about what other regions are doing and got great ideas about how to improve Maine's program.  And we got to see the 2013 Nature's Fury project and robot game!!!  But, alas, we can't share that with you for another 76 days!  Sorry...

But there are some great things to look forward to with this year's challenge and I think you'll enjoy it.

We really liked how they are focusing on "Nature's Fury" rather than on natural disasters.  It may seem like a small thing, but it is a way to keep our youth looking to learn more about what our world has in store, rather than what happens when nature and people collide.  But that is about all I can say so you'll have to wait for the rest.  Tom
