Did you know?

VA-DC FLL helped with the LEGO Engineering class at the JMU Outreach & Engagement program, College for Kids. The class challenged students in grades 1-4 to be creative and use their technical problem-solving skills while also giving them the opportunity to build and program LEGO robots using the We-Do LEGO curriculum.
