These classes are offered free through grants across California. Students learn engineering and leadership and computer programming while having fun with robots. They need to build a model of a city. The skills involved require collaboration. Each member is given a leadership role for a particular section of the city. Likewise, they all engineer different parts of the robot. Parts can be removed and replaced so many different attachments need to be created. The students need to complete LEGO First League-Like missions to score points. They go out and perform specific tasks within the wall of their city. They plan and create the tasks within the city they designed. The students can decide how many points this particular mission is worth. One student can design a particular mission and will serve as the leader for the rest of the group for this particular facet of the project. When other teams come to visit this city the mission leader will explain the parameters of the task and explain how points will be awarded. Each group will make a final presentation that explains how their city was designed and how project missions were devised. Project leaders will choose how to share their information.
