It is new and there is very little there as of today.

Day 2: Pulley System Project

Today we constructed project 2 (A&B) of 9632. It is a crane-like system made up of pulleys.

Took about an hour to perform.

During the project we learned that as you wrap the load line around more pulleys it gets easier to turn the crank to lift the load! Neat!

Day 1: Learning and Audit

Today we went through the JFLL documentation for this year's Power Puzzle. This included rules and the challenge itself.

We received our Base-Kit in the mail yesterday. It came in two (2) boxes. One box contained a battery power-pack plus a motor. The other, larger, box contained some 352 LEGO pieces and several design books.

To get off to a good start we began building the first Design (1A and 1B). The children did ALL of the work. For 6-year olds it was pretty impressive.

Once completed we went to HERE to learn some basics about simple machines.

All in all it was a productive day.


Pictures coming soon. :-)

Tucson Technics a beginning

So here we are beginning a team called Tucson Technics. As the name suggests we are based out of Tucson, AZ.

Our first challenge is called the 2007 JFLL Challenge. JFLL stands for Junior FIRST LEGO League.

This year's challenge is focused on Energy. We are to audit a classroom for the items in it that consume energy. Then we are to design and build a model out of LEGO's to show the energy from source to use.

Stay tuned...
