Swing like a monkey, fly like a bat, or hop like a frog into the FIRST® LEGO®League Jr. CREATURE CRAZE season. Whether in zoos, on the farm, or in your own backyard, we all encounter animals in our lives. In the 2016-2017 CREATURE CRAZE Challenge, over 40,000 children will dive into the wonders of the animal kingdom. What will you learn about our furry, feathered, and finned friends?
Do you want to be one of the 40,000 children meeting the 2016-2017 Creature Craze Challenge? All About Achieving Learning Centers is organizing 15 FIRST® LEGO®League Jr. teams. Children, ages 6-10, will participate in teams of six. Parents will be invited to the Expo on June 6 to view team projects and see the impact of this program.
"The positive impact FIRST® LEGO® League Jr. has on participants is gratifying and well documented. Over 88% are more interested in doing well in school, and 87% have more interest in attending college. JrFLL LEGO League teams get to:
- Research challenges facing today's scientists.
- Design, build, test and program robots using LEGO® technology.
- Apply real-world math and science concepts.
- Learn critical thinking, team-building, and presentation skills.
- Participate in tournaments and celebrations.
- Understand and practice Gracious Professionalism®"
To register:

-The EXPO will take place on June 6 from 5:30pm-6:30pm. This will provide parents with an opportunity to learn about JrFLL and see the final team projects.
*We ask that parents allow their child to work on the project to completion before viewing it so that all children will be able to unveil it for the first time on June 6.
*Troops can purchase a fun patch for participating girls through the Girl Scout Shop. AAALC will provide the link upon completion.
NOTE: This is a FREE program; however, please do not register your child if you are not committed to attending. This will mean another child will not be allowed to participate as there are a limited number of spots.
We will be accepting donations of canned goods for the House of Hope and blankets, food or toys for animals at the Humane Society as community service projects that will tie in with the team projects. Both of these organizations will be invited to attend the EXPO on June 6 and will be presented with the donations.
