In FIRST LEGO League, teams of 3-10 boys and girls of ages 9-14 work together to design, build and program robots. Teams also do a research project that teaches them to think like scientists and engineers to solve real problems in their communities. The 2010 Challenge is Body Forward: Engineering Meets Medicine. Team registration begins May 3. The Challenge releases September 3.
