Join us for the March Madness of FIRST LEGO League Robotics! Thirty-two elementary and middle school teams from across New York City will be competing for citywide awards and two slots at the World Fesitval.

Teams compete in four distinct areas: the robot game, where they program a robot to move autonomously on a 4'x8' playing field; core values (teamwork), robot design and a research project.

This year's theme, called Animal Allies, challenges teams to create unique and innovative solutions to solve human/animal interaction problems in their community and around the world.

Opening ceremonies are at 9 a.m. and Robot Performance rounds will begin at 12:30 p.m., but arrive earlier to talk with teams and learn about their projects. This event is ideal for 6-12 year olds and their parents to attend; concessions are available.

Subways: 1 to 137th A/C to 145th St.

Please note: there is no parking on campus. List of nearby parking garages: http://www.citycollegefund.org/pdf/CampusMap.pdf

All are welcome to this event, which is free and open to the public!
