In December, the “First LEGO League Explore” was held at Primary School Savremena. A total of 12 teams from all over Serbia participated, two of which – GameChangers1 and Legovići – were from Savremena.

The idea of the “FIRST LEGO League Explore” festival is to bring the world of robotics and technology closer to children through the STEM method of learning and at the same time teach them how to think critically and achieve impressive results through teamwork. This time, the participants had didactic materials – LEGO Education SPIKE Essential, WeDo Set and Explore Set at their disposal. By combining electrical and non-electrical parts, they created exciting motorised solutions.

The ceremonial opening of the festival was preceded by several months of preparations and the exchange of ideas. The teams presented their design and construction skills to the judges – the Curious within the strictly defined timeframe and order.

The Curious, as their name suggests, wanted to know as much as possible about the whole process of working on the project – from the day of getting the needed material to the day of the Festival. It was also a great opportunity for the young participants to share their experiences and ideas in an impressive way.

The participants and the visitors enjoyed the whole event which also included Robo workshops, a Starship ride, karaoke, colourful doughnuts with the LEGO logo, an exhibition of LEGO bricks, as well as a corner for the youngest ones.

The closing ceremony and the awarding of medals to all the winners rounded off this wonderful day but also opened the door for our students to participate in the FIRST LEGO League Explore festival in Slovenia in 2023!
