My sister Simran and I are part of a First Lego League (FLL) team. The team also includes two of our friends, Brady and Naythan. Our team name is the Cryptic Cookies.
FLL is a two part competition and is organized around a theme. The theme for 2016/2017 is Animal Allies. The first part of the competition is to complete a project based on the theme. Our team decided to focus on conserving bats; for our project, we published an iBook titled “Days of Danger: the life of a bat”, which is on sale now for 99 cents in the iTunes Store, and we are also creating a board game to educate kids on bat conservation. All proceeds of the iBook will go to Bat Conservation International, an organization which strives to help conserve bats.
The second part of the competition involves a series of missions to be completed using a Lego robot. This year, we must program our robot to deliver food to Lego animals, collect milk and manure, bring prosthetic legs to a stranded pig, and more.
The Cryptic Cookies also has a website. The link to our website is thecrypticcookies.simplesite.com .
