Here is the new Pi POD button design. It is incredibly fun to see how many buttons from all over the country and world you can collect. Last year we came home from the FIRST LEGO League World Competition with our hats covered. This year it will be fun to hand buttons out at the LEGOLAND North American Open.Team Pi PODhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11289831306601275738noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708343061862665110.post-68111327091530883792012-05-11T00:26:00.002-07:002012-05-11T00:35:04.324-07:00Riley Orchards<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Pi POD meeting with Alan Riley (top) and Jordan Riley
(bottom). Alan and Jordan own a family orchard. We are excited to have made
contact with them. They have been fantastic! They
provide produce to large companies as well as farmers markets. They have been very supportive of Mission: Edible, and we are hoping they are the first growers in Utah to give Mission: Edible a try.</div>

<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Mission: Edible</span></strong> \'mi-shan e'de-bel\ n. [idea] 1: A method of helping the consumer of food (esp. produce) to obtain more knowledge concerning their purchase of food, ie. scanning a QR code on the food of purchase with an intelligent cellular device, thus connecting the consumer to a webpage containing information concerning the origin and safety of the food of purchase.<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>In other words, it is the idea of putting QR codes on food so that a consumer can scan them with a smart phone and get information from a website about where the food comes from. It is good for the consumer and good for the grower. The grower can share a lot of information with the consumer in a little bit of space.</strong>Team Pi PODhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11289831306601275738noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708343061862665110.post-47510052228791969052011-09-26T21:52:00.000-07:002011-09-26T21:52:07.695-07:00Food Safety Survey<div id="yui_3_2_0_1_1317098809541110"><img alt="Food_Factor_logo" height="101" src="http://firstlegoleague.org/sites/default/files/Challenge/FoodFactor/FLL%202010%20Logo%20RGB.jpg" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="Food_Factor_logo" width="200" /></div><div> </div><div>Our team is working on a new challenge this year in the field of food safety.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #0066ff; font-family: NeueHelveticaBQ-Roman;"><span style="color: #0066ff; font-family: NeueHelveticaBQ-Roman;"><span style="color: #0066ff; font-family: NeueHelveticaBQ-Roman;"><br />
<span style="color: #f3f3f3; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What is FLL®? Since this is the first year that it is officially in Utah, many people are asking what this LEGO program actually is. FLL® is an incredible program started by a well-known inventor, Dean Kamen. There are several parts of the competition:</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: #f3f3f3; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1) Robot Design: the team builds a robot (or robots) to accomplish specific "missions" which change from year to year.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: #f3f3f3; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2) Robot game: the robots are programmed to compete in a public sports type setting for points based on how many missions are completed in a 2 1/2 minute time frame. This is not easy, but it is fun!</span><br />
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: #f3f3f3; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3) Innovative Project: the team works on a real world problem and comes up with their own innovative idea related to the challenge theme of the year. Many successful teams visit and work with and/or share their idea with professionals in the field to get valuable input on their project.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: #f3f3f3; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4) Teamwork: teams are judged on their ability to work together while solving problems in front of a panel of judges.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: #f3f3f3; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">5) Presentation: it is difficult to fit a lot of information into a small amount of time. To top it off, try and do this in a creative presentation. The team gets 5 minutes to share all of the information related to their innovation to a panel of judges. The judges get 5 minutes to ask the team questions related to the project.</span><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #f3f3f3; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The important part: the kids do the work.</span></strong><br />
