The Annual Gladstone Regional First Lego League (FLL) Tournament just hit Gladstone!

FLL is an energetic and exciting international STEM competition for primary and junior secondary students. Each year around the world, students participating in FLL develop solutions to solve various problems including scientific and real-world challenges. They also code robots to complete missions on a game table full of elaborate Lego designs, as part of the always impressive robot games. Students are judged not only on their problem-solving skills but also on their demonstration of team spirit, inclusion, respect and cooperation.

This year saw many schools across the region participating in the third annual Gladstone FFL Tournament, including students from Gladstone Central State School, Calliope State School, Gladstone State High School and Gladstone West State School. With a total of twenty-three teams, the FFL was an exciting STEM event which showcased student achievements in Science, Technology, Robotics, Engineering and Mathematics. An added feature of this year’s tournament was the Shell Questacon Science Circus being brought up to our region by their national sponsor, Shell QGC.
