2011 Food Factor Challenge: Keeping Food Safe
Can FIRST® LEGO® League teams improve the quality of food by finding ways to prevent food contamination? In the 2011 Food Factor Challenge, over 200,000 9-16* year olds from over 55 countries will explore the topic of food safety and examine the possible points of contamination our food encounters – from exposure to insects and creatures, to unsterile processing and transportation, to unsanitary preparation and storage – then find ways to prevent or combat these contaminates. In the Food Factor Challenge, teams will build, test, and program an autonomous robot using LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT to solve a set of Food Safety missions as well as research, develop, and share their innovative food safety solutions. Throughout their experience, teams will operate under FLL’s signature set of Core Values.
*9-14 in the US and Canada

Just wanted to send a quick note of thanks to everyone for making this past weekends tournament possible. My kids really enjoyed themselves. I hope you have all taken some time to rest and pat yourselves on the back. The event was truly remarkable.

Hello all,
I wanted to take this chance to thank Liz, Greg and Mike for giving me the opportunity to take part as a FLL technical judge in this weekend's event--it was such a huge success!
I am happy that I was part of such a great and inspiring event. As a third-year Mechanical/Aerospace Engineering student, I have learned many complex concepts and theory when it comes to mechanical components and design. What I saw on Sunday, as presented by the students, really showed me that one doesn't need to go to college to learn those concepts. All one needs is the determination, passion and willingness to learn. I will never forget this lesson.
Please feel free to reach out to me for other events--I would love to continue participating.
Warm regards,
-------
I was there today. Great, fun & exciting atmosphere. I was a judge for FLL and I am proud to say that one of my groups won "The Team Spirit" award. Go team! So proud!
------
I went today (can't go tomorrow unfortunately but I really did want to see those operations!) and it was mind-blowing! it was like a super sporting event with mascots and 'uniforms' and war paint, except that competing teams were NICE to each other! the diversity was uplifting, and the enthusiasm was contagious and inspiring. I felt like I was seeing the future in these kids and I actually wept. thanks Norm.

All,
I will start by simply saying Thank You for all of the work that you have done this past year to make FLL a success in NYC. However, there is nothing simple about the work itself. The countless hours, above and beyond your day jobs, which you put in to make the Body Forward season a success cannot really be summed up into words of gratitude that would do them justice. All that I can say is that they are very much appreciated, by everyone around, but especially the kids (which is really what it’s all about and why we do what we do). I look at it from this perspective: Even if what we do helps steer the life of one child in the right direction, then it’s worth it. But I know that the work we do has an impact not just on one child, but hundreds of them…and that’s definitely something to feel good about.
In respect to this past weekend’s Javits extravaganza – IT WAS GREAT. Everyone who has come up to me as well as to some other volunteers has said that the event was the best one they have attended yet, that everything from a spectators point of view worked as it should have, and that the teams had a lot of FUN! We had some very good press, especially on Sunday (which I attribute, ofcourse, to the FLL/Jr.FLL events which were present, but then again I’m biased ;)
I hope that all of you took some notes about what worked, didn’t work, what worked but needs improvement, and everything in between for our debriefing.
Thank you all again for a spectacular season and all of your hard work and dedication.
Regards,
Mark

I thought you would like to see this nice video of an FLL success story - Team 7916 at PS 64. Our FLL Team 2357 last year began mentoring a team at P.S. 64, a public school which had had significant cuts to its science curriculum. In our off season, we introduced the PS 64 afterschool program (supported by Educational Alliance) to the FLL program, and recommended that they make use of the New York Academy of Sciences STEM afterschool mentoring program.
This fall, led by Anju Rupchandani, PS 64 did enter FLL for the first time as Team 7916, with mentor Daniel Gilmer (PhD candidate at Rockfeller University and NYAS volunteer). We are very proud of how far they have come in a short time! Not only has Anju Rupchandani at PS 64 been able to add an afterschool robotics class, but in addition, she has been able to add Genetics & Earth Science.
NYAS made a video about their STEM mentoring program, which also features the Body Forward challenge. I thought you would like to see it, as example of an FLL success story - we hope to continue mentoring Team 7916 in the future.

We are very proud of how far they have come in a short time! Not only has Anju Rupchandani at PS 64 been able to add an afterschool robotics class, but in addition, she has been able to add Genetics & Earth Science.
NYAS made a video about their STEM mentoring program, which also features the Body Forward challenge. I thought you would like to see it, as example of an FLL success story - we hope to continue mentoring Team 7916 in the future.

Junior FIRST LEGO League Update from Keith Wynne
The NYCNJ FIRST Planning Committee is pleased to announce that registration is now full for the upcoming Junior FIRST LEGO League Exposition at the Jacob Javits Convention Center for Sunday March 13th, 2011!
We are excited to have 20 teams confirmed and look forward to sharing an exciting weekend of FIRST Programming for all ages as we celebrate this year's theme of "Body Forward" with children from the New York City Metropolitan Area.
All inquiries regarding participation and registration should be directed to the NYC JrFLL Chairperson, Keith Wynne by contacting him at: kwynne.science@gmail.com

The NYC NJ FIRST Planning Committee is pleased to announce a unique and exciting opportunity for JrFLL Coaches and Programs who have registered multiple teams. Due to increasing demand, our registration is currently capped for the upcoming Exposition at the Jacob Javits Convention Center on Sunday March 13th, 2011.
We are currently able to offer an opportunity for teams and programs with multiple registrations to showcase their research projects and models at the upcoming Brooklyn Borough Qualifying Tournament at NYU Polytechnic University on Saturday January 8th. We have space for 4-6 teams to set up a table and share their accomplishments with the 50 FLL teams who are participating in the tournament. There is no cost to participate and the event will not be judged. It will, however, afford your students a unique opportunity to network and share their projects with FLL Teams as well as observe an FLL Tournament in action.
Interested teams and coaches should contact Keith Wynne via e-mail at: kwynne.science@gmail.com by Friday December 17th, so we can reserve table space for you and your teams.
Thank you for your continued support of FIRST programming in New York CIty!
Sincerely Yours,
Keith A. Wynne
