Bridgewater Robots

Future scientists and engineers will put their LEGO robotic creations to the test as part of the third annual "First Lego League Challenge" being held at Nova Scotia Community College Lunenburg Campus this Friday,


Four teams from schools in the South Shore Regional School Board and one team from Conseil Scolaire Acadien Provincial have been preparing for the event since September with support from teacher advisors and NSCC faculty mentors.

Each team has built a working robot using a "Lego Mindstorms" kit and prepared research on this year's theme, "Body Forward".

This year, team will look at ways to repair injuries, overcome genetic predispositions and maximize the human body's potential, with the intended purpose of leading happier and healthier lives.

The public portion of the event gets underway at 1 p.m.
