Today was the Utah FIRST LEGO League Championship at the University of Utah! 45 teams from all over Utah competed in teams in the categories: Robot, Project, and Core Values. I was one of 100+ volunteers who spent the day judging, deliberating awards, and handing out medals at the awards ceremony.
My role as a Core Values judge was to judge 11 different teams (4th-8th grade) on their: inspiration, teamwork, and "Gracious Professionalism." Each team was given a 15-minute time slot to do a team activity which would highlight their ability to work together as a team and then present on how they demonstrate the Core Values as a team and in their lives. My favorite part of volunteering was hearing how students were coming to enjoy math and learned how to program their robots!
Three teams out of the 45 were given the invitations to participate in national and international FIRST LEGO league competitions in April and May! I was grateful for the opportunity to see these students' innovations and problem solving skills.
