The 2012 First Lego League has begun. Our first meeting was last week Friday. This year's topic is Senior Solutions. Our weekend homework was to find a person over 60 years old and ask them what has become a problem or has gotten more difficult with age. We then needed to bring a problem and an innovative solution to that problem.
Some of the problems we found were getting around, being able to reach things that are too high or to low, not being able to see or hear as well, not being able to cook for themselves anymore, legs getting sore too fast, and forgetting things.
Today we got to know everybody on the team a little bit better and decided to focus on the problems of losing the senses of sight and hearing. We learned about how the eye works and tried to think of way to help restore people's sight.
Homework for tonight is to think of a team name. It needs to be positive and somehow relate to robots or lego.
