The Beginning of Nature's Fury

We wrapped up the end of last years FLL season on Senior Solutions with a follow up presentation to a senior book club. We had previously presented to them at the beginning of the season and enjoyed our time with them. They even helped us with our research by taking surveys we created! We were glad to be back for the follow up presentation and look forward to possible further presentations in the future.

Nature's Fury is this year's FLL topic. Though we don't know yet what the full challenge will be, we can get started on general research. We've begun looking at a wide verity of natural disasters to have a general knowledge of many areas so we're ready to dive in when the full challenge is released. Each team member is researching a few topics and reporting their findings to the rest of the team. Natural disasters are fascinating and we expect this year's FLL challenge to be exciting!

Where will our team be in the community next? At our county fair, we plan to set up our robot and talk about FLL with the general public. We have done this every year since the beginning of our team. This is a great way to introduce FIRST to hundreds of people! We have even inspired people to start their own teams after talking with us at the county fair! We were also at the state fair last year and hope to present there again this year.

Thanks for reading!
