Today we need to look at Core Values - you need to know all the Core Values.

The FIRST LEGO League Core Values

We express the FIRST philosophies of Gracious Professionalism and Coopertition through our Core Values:

Discovery: We explore new skills and ideas.
Innovation: We use creativity and persistence to solve problems.
Impact: We apply what we learn to improve our world.
Inclusion: We respect each other and embrace our differences.
Teamwork: We are stronger when we work together.
Fun: We enjoy and celebrate what we do!

 

Let's look at this Introduction to Core Values for the new team members

Developing a Team Identity

Outreach?

Let's discuss how the teams work.

  • How do you make decisions?
  • How do you divide up the work?
  • How do you decide who does what?
  • How do you check whether work has been done?

 

Go to your Google Drive.

Fill in the TimeLine and Work Breakdown documents.

Monday 9/30

Continue with your strategy and Robot Design Plan. Remember that the fewer attachments,
the better - we need multi-use attachments.

When I have approved your plan, you may build a robot.

We will have visitors today for the City Kitties, so work quietly.

Tomorrow we will be in Mr. Finetto's room (10-013).

**********************************************************

Thursday 9/26

Continue with your strategy worksheets.

If you like, you could each use the interactive sketch planner by yourselves, then discuss
the different ideas to come up with a starting team strategy.

Put that team strategy on the Table Strategy page on your Google Drive.

Go to the Robot Design Plan document in your Google drive and start working on that.

Remember that the fewer attachments, the better - we need multi-use attachments.

opening Opening Activity:

Come to the front to watch the other strategy video.

 

classworkClasswork:

We will finish looking at the Game Guide.

Go back to your seats and start planning some strategy. You have a team map in your google drive -
it's called 'Table Strategy'. Start using this (it's in Google Draw and you can write/draw on it), and the
Game Guide to develop a strategy.

The next step will be to look at the missions and, as a team, suggest some attachments that might work on another Google doc.
You can then redevelop your strategy to take attachment used into account. Remember that the fewer attachments,
the better - we need multi-use attachments.
