Durango Discovery Museum

Durango Discovery Museum FIRST LEGO League (FLL) is a global program created to get kids excited about science and technology. Geared for ages 9-14 (up to 16 outside of the U.S. and Canada), FLL utilizes theme-based Challenges to engage kids in research, problem solving, and engineering. The cornerstones of the program are its core values, ...which emphasize contributions of others, friendly sportsmanship, learning, and community involvement.

The Durango First Lego League Mission is to inspire students to
explore science and technology to solve global problems through local action. This year the challenge theme is "Smart Moves" and students have been researching transportation issues for a dramatic
presentation while also working through transportation scenarios with Lego robotics.

Lego League was active last year in two schools, but is brand new this year to all 7 elementary schools in the area. Next year we'll expand to the two middle schools, and to Bayfield and Mancos as well. The final competition celebrating an 8-week season is on the 12th, at Escalante Middle School from 8-12 noon.
