EARLY provides 7 to 12 year olds the opportunity to participate in a robotics competition every fall and spring.
The competition robots are built from LEGO® Simple & Motorized Mechanisms Kits which have a comprehensive curriculum available for easy implementation into the classroom. The combination of curriculum and competition allows teachers to have all their students complete some of the Simple & Motorized Mechanisms activities, which are approximately 45 minutes each, and then invite those students that are interested to participate on the EARLY team.
Each season, EARLY teams are given a new mission that they complete by building a robot from three LEGO® Simple & Motorized Mechanisms Kits. Each kit contains a motor along with a battery powered remote allowing robots to have three motors. The EARLY playing field is constructed from plywood, 2x4s, some paint, and a little bit of sweat. The mission models are built from one LEGO® Simple & Motorized Mechanisms Kit. You can get the EARLY Mission for this season on our current Season page and past seasons are located on our Missions page.
Build robots from the Lego kits to complete missions provided for each tournament.
