Today’s Goal Provide an understanding of the ORTOP and FLL programs Show the value these programs bring to our youth Demonstrate the fun and excitement the programs generate Explain the opportunities for your involvement

Agenda Introductions Our motivations The ORTOP and FLL Programs A live Lego Robotics Demo Build a Lego robot and try it out Simple programming of your robot

The Problem The local economy has created a large number of technology jobs Number of our young people interested in technology growing too slowly especially among our young women and minority groups

The Root Causes Technology perceived as hard -- only for “geniuses” Media portrays Technologists as “nerds” Poor communication skills Overly serious/isolated Young people know very little about technical careers Few/No engineering courses in K-12 Few/No role models available The reality is hard for them to visualize

The Reality We are regular people with a variety of personal characteristics Teamwork rather than isolation is mandatory for success We work on important, real-world problems to produce: Consumer products Medical solutions Buildings & bridges Ocean ecology is the theme for 2005 Great potential for salaries/benefits

The Opportunity -- FLL Program from FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) FLL (FIRST Lego League) targets 9-14 year olds Uses relatively inexpensive Lego robotics kits Defines a mini engineering project based on real-world problems Features hands-on experience and multi-disciplinary teamwork Show these youth engineering can be fun

FIRST Philosophy ”[We] share the philosophy that children learn best by doing hands-on, minds-on activities which challenge their intellect and creativity. The FLL program accomplishes this task in a healthy environment and shows kids that they can succeed where they may have never thought they could." Dean Kamen, FIRST Founder

ORTOP (Oregon Robotics Tournament and Outreach Program) Opening doors to the worlds of science and technology for Oregon’s youth Runs the FLL program in Oregon and the surrounding counties Connected to the Chancellor’s Office of the Oregon University System Heavily volunteer based

Additional ORTOP Focus Reach out to girls and minorities Look for partners that can help: Girl Scouts, Boys and Girls Clubs, 4H, etc. Special outreach to schools and community organizations with the demographics that fit our focus Every team that registers gets to participate Success for a team is participation

What Is an FLL Team? 4-10 youngsters each Ages 9-14 Led by coach and mentor Coach – adult with overall responsibility for the team Mentor – technical expertise Sources of teams Schools Community groups Neighborhoods

The FLL Team Experience Miniature engineering project team stressing Creativity and teamwork Engineering principles: requirements, alternatives, rapid prototyping, testing, … Hands-on problem solving Context is a real-world situation Illustrates multiple roles: Designers, Builders, Programmers, Sales and Marketing Insights into possible careers The youngsters do the work – FLL Coaches’ Honor Code and Team Promise

FLL Team Costs Start-up Costs Yearly Costs First-year total: $655-$775 Robotics Kit: $260 - $280 Materials for table: $50-$100 Team Challenge Activity Pack: $30 Yearly Costs National Registration Fee: $150 State Registration Fee: $50 Field Setup Kit: $65 Misc. including batteries, shipping: $50-$100 First-year total: $655-$775 Subsequent years total: $315-$365

The Team Timeline Teams form in April – September Registration with FLL is May – September ORTOP workshops May – September The Challenge is released in mid-Sept. Teams develop their solutions for ~3 mo. The real learning in the program Robot design, programming, and presentation Culminating event is the Tournament Local tournaments in early December State tournament in January

Tournament Structure Less focus on competition and more on showcasing the team’s learning and results Local Tournaments Around 20 teams each Organized by local tournament teams with support from ORTOP 16 in 2005: Vancouver, Bend, Roseburg, LaGrande, Corvallis, Klamath Falls, and 10 around Portland State Tournament 80 teams at Liberty High School in Hillsboro Best teams from the Local Tournaments

Showing What They’ve Learned At least two opportunities to demonstrate robot on the Challenge playing field Interaction with Technical Judging Panel Presentation to Presentation Judging Panel General presentation area specified by FLL to enhance learning about the year’s theme Requires research by the team Develops presentation skills (the opportunity for the developing sales and marketing youngsters)
