Join the Lego League

Youth in grades 4-6 may register for “Lego League.”

Participants will design, build, program and test a fully-autonomous robot using the program, Lego Mindstorms.

As a team, members discover the secrets of technology that are used every day through this cutting edge field of research. Students will work on a structured project focusing on research, robotics, leadership and teamwork.

There will be a parent meeting on Tuesday, September 13 at 3:20 p.m. explaining the program.

The league meets every Tuesday from September 13 through December 9 (except for November 2) from 3:20 to 5 p.m. at the Voyager Elementary School media center.

This program is sponsored by 3M of Alexandria. The instructor is Dan Brown, a retiree with a passion for technology.
