FIRST LEGO

The First Lego League Semi-State Challenge is Sunday at Screaming Eagles Arena

USI’s STEM Resource Center is hosting a Lego robot challenge this weekend. WNIN’s John Gibson has a preview:

The university says more than 45 Indiana teams will be participating in the First Lego League Semi-State Challenge on Sunday at Screaming Eagles Arena.

It will begin with a parade of teams at 8:30 a.m, followed by the Robot Game where teams demonstrate months of hard work in designing and coding their LEGO robots.

The event is open to the public at no charge.

FIRST LEGO League is an international robotics program that challenges kids from ages 9 to 14 to think critically, solve problems, and develop real-world solutions using robotics and technology.

This year's theme is “Masterpiece,” which encourages teams to imagine and innovate new ways to create and communicate art across the globe.
