What is Smart Move?
Each and every day, transportation touches your lives. Your team travels to the places where they learn, to the places where they play, to visit friends and family. Things we want, clothes we wear, the food we eat, the water we drink, medicines we needall these travel over highways, on paths and trails, along railroad tracks, up and down rivers, across oceans, over mountains and deserts, along the streets we live on. Information travels to us from experts, teachers, friends, and family. It comes to us by word-of-mouth, over the phone, in books, from websites, in text messages.
Now, consider. A potato chip can travel through a factoryflying from machine-to-machine without being brokenbut more than 50,000 kids who traveled on skateboards had to be taken to the hospital. Is all this travel as safe as it could be? Millions of people (and the things they need) get stuck in transit every day. Is all this travel as efficient as it could be?
Your challenge this season is to look at your community and discover how people, animals, information, and things travel. Once you know how people and things move in your community, pick one main mode of transportation and do some research. What kinds of problems keep people and things from getting where they are going safely? What kind of problems keep people and things from moving efficiently, getting where they are going quickly and using the least amount of energy? How could your team help solve one of those problems

What is FIRST Lego League?
Introduces younger students to real-world engineering challenges by building LEGO-based robots to complete tasks on a thematic playing surface. FLL teams, guided by their imaginations and adult coaches, discover exciting career possibilities and, through the process, learn to make positive contributions to society.
Elementary and middle-school students get to:
What FLL teams accomplish is nothing short of amazing. Its fun. Its exciting. And the skills they learn will last a lifetime.
Along with the solid values that FIRST represents, it seconds this attitude by placing strong importance on community involvement. It is dedicated towards creating new teams and spreading this great program towards other parts of the United States and the world. FIRST teams are encouraged to mentor other teams and to be involved in the community, and this helps students develop the social and leadership skills necessary to be successful in the workplace.
During the FIRST Robotics Competition, students build a fully functioning robot, and they are aided by dedicated teachers and mentors. Throughout this demanding building process, the kids learn a lot about the skills necessary to succeed as engineers, scientists, and mathematicians. They begin to see what hard work and dedication can result in when all team members are working towards one cause. The valuable hands-on experience gained from this program is immeasurable, and the happy smiles and pride created by seeing your robot work for the first time is why FIRST continues to reach out to schools and communities.
FIRST is a great educational program because not only does it teach kids about many different fields of study, it also emphasizes the importance of cooperation and respect among team members and different teams. FIRST stresses the importance of gracious professionalism during all of its competitions as students are encouraged to help other teams in all ways possible in order to create a fun and enriching learning environment. The students must learn to work together in order to replicate a diligent community focused on learning with others.
FIRST is an outstanding program that is successfully showing high school students around the world how fun and exciting the technological sciences are, and it is sparking new ideas along with the interest that it is generating. Its creative yearly game types encourage students to think imaginatively and turn their ideas into reality. U.S. FIRST represents ingenuity, innovation, and hope in the new generation of engineers that will try to make the world a better place.
