Each team will: Create, build, problem solve, and present what you've learned. Research and create a solution to a real world problem for this years challenge, “Masterpiece”, where you will imagine and innovate new ways to create and communicate art across the globe. This will become a project that is presented to the Judges on competition day. Give a 5-minute presentation at the competition. Take their robots to the test at the competition table to compete against other teams from all over the area at the First Lego League Competition.
