In 2023, we started our very first FLL (FIRST Lego League) team. At first we had only two students, though now we have DOUBLED our student count! Our first robot was named Perseverance and our student’s innovation project was on the collection of bugs.
The students also created the bug game which was about card collecting and trading various cards of real life species of bugs. While having cards to trade with was fun, we decided to also make plastic bug pins to wear. We imagined an app that would be a Pokemon GoTM esq game with our bug cards to interact with.
