Inly Forms Official Lego Robotics Team

The "Inly Engineers" will participate as a FIRST LEGO League (FLL) team

Inly is proud to announce the formation of the “Inly Engineers,” a FIRST® LEGO® League (FLL) team. The FFL gives students in grades 4–8 the chance to research real-world problems and solutions. Students work in teams of up to 10 people.

"Senior Solutions" is the theme for the 2012–2013 school year. Students will explore the topic of aging and how it may affect a person’s ability to maintain his or her lifestyle—solving issues like mobility, communications or fitness. In addition to the research requirements, students will build and program an autonomous robot using LEGO MINDSTORMS technology.

The 2012 Senior Solutions Challenge begins on August 28. Team meetings will be held during the fall After School Program and as needed during open Friday scheduling in Upper Elementary and Middle School during the fall competition season.
