Indian Wells FIRST Lego League Tournament
|
The Tru Blu Robotics Team was invited to the October inaugural FIRST Lego League
(FLL) tournament for the Coachella Valley held in Indian Wells, California (near Palm Springs) as an
exhibitor. The organizers of the event invited teams at the FIRST Tech Challenge
(FTC) and the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) progam levels to demonstrate
the different programs available for students once they have graduated out of the FIRST
Lego League age group. We demonstrated our robot at the Friday evening RUTS (Robots Under the Stars)
gala which showcased the opportunities for STEM education to area business professionals and regional government representatives.
During Saturday's competition, the robot was driven by FLL participants, their families and community
visitors at the event. We held numerous conversations with area high school teachers who are eager
to start FRC programs at their schools.
