The annual Central Illinois Junior First Lego League Expo will be held this Sunday, April 10th from 12:30 until 4:30 PM in the Cass Gymnasium at Lincoln Land Community College in Springfield. Guests are invited to view the work of 30 regional teams of children. The event is designed to spark young children’s curiosity, aim it towards discovering how science and technology impacts the world around them. The Junior First Lego League program is open to children ages 6-9, and features scientific challenges to be explored through research, teamwork, critical thinking, and imagination, as adult coaches guide teams of children to work with LEGO elements and motorized moving parts to build models of ideas and concepts. This year’s challenge will be “Waste Wise”, where the teams find out what making trash really means.
