FLL Body Forward Training Day - 2nd September 2010
Posted on Monday, May 31 @ 12:01:28 BST
Topic: Robot Challenges and Competitions
|
With the Body Forward season fast approaching, the partner training day will be held on Thursday 2nd September 2010 in the Wolfson School at Loughborough University. This will include an FLL programme update, a brief review of the Smart Move season, and a training session on the 2010 Body Forward challenge. I would also like to draw on your experience of FIRST LEGO League to determine how the programme could develop and how First Hand Technology can further support the tournament network across the UK and Ireland.
The Educational Benefit of FLL
With more children participating in FLL around the word, an independent study of the educational impact has provided evidence that the work you do is making a real difference to the skills of the children that participate. Through participation in FLL:
* Over 90% of team members had a better understanding of the role science and technology plays in solving everyday problems.
* Approximately 80% of team members reported increased interest in science and technology careers.
* Over 90% of team members reported gains in life and workplace related skills, including the ability to work with others on a team, find information, manage time, problem solve and make effective presentations.
The executive summary can be accessed through the FIRST website www.usfirst.org.
British Science Association CREST Awards
I'm delighted to inform you that FIRST LEGO League has been accredited with the British Science Association CREST Award scheme. CREST is Britain's largest national award scheme for project work in the STEM subjects and was established over 23 years ago. For students, CREST Awards are a tangible recognition of success, and team members will have the opportunity to apply for a Silver CREST Award through participation in FLL. A detailed session will be included on the agenda at the training day in September.
Thank you for your continued dedication to the FIRST LEGO League programme. Questions and feedback are always welcome, so please do not hesitate to contact me if there is anything you would like to discuss.
