On Saturday the 12th of November, Duncraig Secondary competed in the First Lego League Competition. It involved building and coding Lego Robots to solve pre-set missions and developing and presenting an Innovation Project.
The theme for this year was Renewable Energy and the team’s project was a sustainable water fountain that could cool and filter the water by using hydro and solar power. The team presented their project with a prototype (which they created using sustainable parts) and with a PowerPoint.
The missions consisted of Lego Models which represented Renewable Energy. The team had three rounds of two and a half minutes each, to run code on a Lego Robot that would solve as many missions as possible.
A major part of the competition was to display Core Values in all aspects, which involved team work and good sportsmanship. Part of our Core Values display was to build and give little Lego Monsters to the other teams, to show our support and encouragement.
The team has put a lot of extra time and effort into their preparations and with limited time available, still managed to deliver an exceptional performance to be proud of.
