While at the 2004 Florida Regional FIRST competition, held at the University of Central Florida, Center Director Jim Kennedy talks to participants in the FIRST LEGO League (FLL). Considered the "little league" of the FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Robotics Competition, FLL is the result of a partnership between FIRST and the LEGO Company. FLL extends the FIRST concept of inspiring and celebrating science and technology to children aged 9 through 14, using real-world context and hands-on experimentation. Young participants can build a robot and compete in a friendly, FIRST-style robotics event specially designed for their age group.
