FIRST LEGO Leagues is an international program for children, created in partnership between FIRST Foundation and The LEGO Group in 1998. FLL introduces children to the fun and experience of solving real-world problems by applying math, science, and technology. Each year, more than 200,000 children ages 9-16 years old from fifty-five (55) countries participate.
FLL Philippines was held at the Quezon City Interactive Science Center (QCISC) with fifteen (15) pioneer schools consisting of 10 students/team from as far as Cebu and Bicol or a total of 150 students .
This year 2012, the theme is “FOOD FACTOR” Keeping Food Safe. With the FLL Food Factor challenge, teams will explore the topic of food safety and examine the possible points of contamination our food encounters-from exposure to insects and creatures, to unsterile processing and transportation, to unsanitary preparation and storage-then find ways to prevent or combat these contaminants.
The winner of the Champion’s award is DYCI Blue Ocean 10 from Dr. Yangas Colleges Inc. and will represent the Philippines to the FLL World Festival to be held in St. Louis, MO, USA on April 24-30,2012.
