Catching up: Jr FLL (Lego) Expo

This year our theme for Jr FLL was water's journey. We studied why water is important, where it comes from, and how it gets to us. Apparently NYC has a very unique water system, so it was fun to figure out what made it different. The team had to pick a water use and improve something about the way water gets there. The kids picked a swimming pool, and created an awesome water slide shower that you had to ride down before getting in the pool, so it's water would stay cleaner longer. They also had to program a robot as part of their model. They turned ours into a food truck that would drive through the city and play music when it arrived at the pool. Seth helped with the coding, and we recorded Joy playing the violin for the music. They had a great time at the Expo, seeing what other teams had done, presenting their project, and playing with their team members. Each team got an award, and their team was given "Master Programers." They were very proud.
