The FLL Singapore competition was held in our school,School of Science and Technology,Singapore(SST) on saturday,9th January 2010.
It was a pleasure for me and my friends to be there during the competition for some time so we were able poke our noses here and there for some inside scoop.
FFL is unique because of its 7 core values.These values are in fact the basic for all of us to live our lives.We solve problems and create new products and systems to improve the quality of our lives. Through the FLL,participants learn creative thinking and and problem solving skills while interacting with fellow peers,coaches and resourceful people from all aspects of life.These interactions and competitions allow them to experience the difficulties in solving problems and the accomplishment accompanied by achieving their goals and solving problems.
Attending the competition was a privilege for us as we sort of had VIP access to the competition area as we were in our school uniform and people could easily identify us as students of SST.
The competition was rather thrilling to watch as robots built by students of different ages were programmed to do different tasks on a so-called obstacle course.Almost everyone was a winner at the competition as there were other different awards given out besides the top 3 like best robot design,most innovative robot etc.Although we weren't there throughout the whole competition,it was rather exciting to watch the contestants battle it out on the obstacle course and present their robot to the judges even though the main objective was to exchange ideas within one another.
