On Sunday, we met with Girl Scout troop #1162 to share FLL, our project, and the robot board. We first had them do an exercise so we could get to know them. We instructed them to get in order from birthdays starting in January all the way to December, and gave them 3 minutes to accomplish this task! They finished in a record time of 1:32! #GIRLPOWER!!
We then explained the basics of FLL, and we showed them a sample instant challenge, and had them divide into two groups. They were given marshmallows, popsicle sticks, and a couple of rubber bands, and were told to construct a tower that could hold up a book!
Here are some pictures:

We then explained the robot board to them, and they again, split up into groups. Heather and Aiesha explained how to program, and Aviva and Yiyi explained how the board works, how to run it, align it, etc.
We then had them write down their favorite part, and many said programming! The Girl Scouts did extremely well, and they might just be the next big FLL team(s).
Many thanks to the Girl Scouts for meeting with us! :)
