The 4-H Club Superior STEAM is set to host a FIRST LEGO League (FLL) Scrimmage on November 2nd at Sherwood Oaks Christian Church in Bedford, Indiana. This is the 3rd scrimmage that the Club has hosted.
Teams of 6-14 year old future scientists, artists, engineers, innovators, and leaders from around the state will gather to be judged on how well they display the FIRST Core Values, how well they innovate a solution to a problem related to this year’s game theme, and–of course–how well the robot they build completes the missions on the field. In addition to the field competition, even younger innovators will display the projects that they have built.
FIRST Robotics is an international robotics competition with three divisions for students 4-18
years old. FLL is the youngest division. Teams that compete in FIRST Robotics (firstinspires.org) are expected to display Gracious Professionalism and Coopertition. To learn more about Gracious Professionalism® and Coopertition® check out the videos on Superior STEAM’s website: superiorsteam.org/robotics.

The game for this year is called SUBMERGED. The theme of the FIRST Robotics season focuses on the oceans. There are 15 different missions that each team can try to get points from. Watch the full missions video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5u-2q_K3O0
