The engineers of the future learn through play

On Saturday, 8 November DTU Diplom and Ballerup Municipality hosted the final of FIRST LEGO League 2014 at DTU Ballerup Campus.

FIRST LEGO League is a challenge in which elementary school students program an autonomous LEGO Mindstorms robot to score points on a themed playing field (Robot Game), and develop a solution to a challenge they have given. This year's challenge for the FIRST LEGO League was 'World Class – Learning Unleashed.' The challenge required the students to come up with the answer to how children want to learn and not least what they want to learn!
