There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

FIRST LEGO League (FLL) combines two organizations to help expose young minds
to the fascinating world of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). Each
year, FLL releases a new challenge in late August which consists of three
components: robot game, project, and core values. Directed by coaches, the teams
conduct research on the science behind these challenges and design an innovative
solution to solve the problem while practicing the core values. Using the LEGO
MINDSTORMS technology, the teams must design, build, and program a robot to
overcome these challenges and compete on a thematic playing field. Throughout the
season, they develop multiple talents and techniques such as teamwork,
communication, critical thinking, and presentation skills all while engaging in the
STEM concepts and having fun!
