Team Hawaii is Heading to World Championships in Atlanta

The Punabots Blue is an independent FIRST Lego League team made up of 7 boys, ages 10 & 11. In December 2009, they won the Champions’ Award at the Hawaii State Championship. As the State champions, they will travel later this month to compete and represent Hawaii at the FIRST Lego League World Championship in Atlanta, GA.

What is the FIRST Lego League?

FIRST Lego League is an international organization that conducts robotics competitions on worldwide basis for children ages 9-14.  The purpose of the competition is to learn about science, math, and technology through the use of robotics.

Each team designs, builds, programs, and operates an autonomous robot to perform tasks or ”missions” to score points in a 2-1/2 minute period.   The team also researches and and presents an innovative solution to improve transportation in our community for the 2009 “Smart Moves” challenge.

What is the FIRST Lego League World Championship?

The FIRST Lego League World Championship is the “SuperBowl” of FIRST Lego League. The Punabots are  very proud and honored that we will be representing the State of Hawaii at the World Championship.

How can you help?

The Punabots need donations that will help pay for some of the costs to travel and compete in Atlanta. When they compete, the Punabots plan to follow the FIRST Lego League credo of “Gracious Professionalism”, which means working hard to win but always treating others with humility and respect. This is the same thing as Aloha, and the Punabots plan to show this to all of the other kids at the World Championship.
