• 00:52 Decatur's Lego League Team's First Meeting: 2022-23

  Dectatur's Lego League After School Program kicked off this past week with a fun community-builder activity where each member wrote a question on a note that would help all members get to know each other better and then placed it inside a balloon that they blew up. The team then went outside on the turf, threw them up in the air for a few minutes, caught a balloon made by another member, and read the notes to each other out back at our new mosaic benches. This helped ensure that each member was able to get to know the names of their teammates, and learn something new about each other. Once back inside in Ms. Mendoza's Maker-Space Room, the team began digging into and discussing some videos that we posted on our Lego League Google Classroom page so that the team members can become acquainted with the overall theme for this year's competition!
