Each year members of OT Robotics mentor FIRST Lego League Teams. This is a terrific opportunity to raise awareness of high school extra-curricular activities in robotics and for younger students to learn from experienced team members. Red Devils Evelyn and Lyle helped mentor 4 and 5 FLL teams respectively this year.
The FIRST Lego League is a competition similar to FIRST Robotics. Students in grades 6 to 8 build robots to accomplish assigned tasks and compete in a friendly fashion at exciting events.
The first 2008 Lego League tournament, the regional, was hosted by Mentor College in Mississauga this weekend. OT Robotics was proud to see our mentor teams flourish and assist in making the event a success. Volunteers from the Red Devils helped referee, set up and judge the event, ensuring that fun was had by all. Congratulations to Lyle, who won the "Best Young Mentor" Award.
Stay tuned next week; the provincial competition is coming up!
