Lego League: Unearthed (ages 9-14) - Lego League: Challenge Unearthed (ages 9-14) Fall session
FIRST® LEGO® League gives kids ages 9–14 the chance to dive into STEM through hands-on learning, teamwork, and fun challenges. Students work together to research problems, design solutions, and build and code a LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Prime robot to complete missions. Along the way, they learn problem-solving, creativity, and collaboration as they test ideas, make improvements, and share what they’ve discovered. This season’s theme, UNEARTHED™, invites kids to uncover hidden treasures, artifacts, and stories while exploring science and history in exciting new ways. Through the competition, kids are judged not just on their robot’s design and performance but also on their innovation project and how well they demonstrate teamwork, inclusion, and creativity. Every team member receives a team shirt, a trip to the Peabody Museum, and the chance to compete in qualifier tournaments, with the potential to advance to the state championship. It’s the perfect program for kids who love building, coding, solving problems, or exploring archaeology. A younger, less competitive version will also be available starting in January.Class details to keep in mind: In addition to Saturday sessions, we will pick a weekday evening to have bonus sessions so that those with the extra time can work on the robot missions (optional participation). Qualifier competitions will be the weekends of Nov 22 & 23, and Dec 6 & 7 (our team will not find out which one we are going to until late October) with State Championship on December 13th (if the team qualifies to go).About the InstructorsKat and Dave Belliveau are engineers/project managers who have lived in Pepperell for 8 years with their three children, dog, chickens and pond goldfish. Collectively they hold Bachelor's degrees in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering and Electrical and Computer Engineering and Master's degrees in Mechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering and Cybersecurity. They have both worked for Raytheon for decades and began their journey with First Robotics as judges for both First Lego League (FLL) and First Robotics. They have coached FLL Explore teams for the past two years now in Pepperell. Kat and Dave are both active leaders in Cub Scouting (pack1455 Pepperell) and enjoy gardening and travelling.
