Across the globe and in a town or city near you LEGO MINDSTORMS robots are buzzing on FIRST LEGO League (FLL) tournament tables working to solve our planet’s “Power Puzzle.”

This year’s FLL challenge calls for teams of students ages 9 to 14 to use robotics to understand and create solutions for one of today’s most critical environmental issues: energy management and conservation.

With missions exploring solar panels on houses, hydro-dams, wind turbines and planting trees, teams will have to program their robots to find sustainable options to meet our planet’s growing energy needs in environmentally sound ways.

Currently in its tenth year, FIRST LEGO League anticipates its biggest season ever, with more than 10,000 teams in 38 countries competing in hundreds of Qualifying Events and Championship Tournaments. More than 100,000 students will compete to win honors and recognition. Teams will also have the opportunity to participate at the FIRST LEGO League World Festival, to be held in conjunction with the FIRST Championship, April 17-19, 2008 at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, Georgia.
