About Our Program
Saline Heritage Robotics is a 100% volunteer run organization. Our Michigan FIRST LEGO League (FLL) Challenge season runs from August ~ December, with international level competitions taking place the following spring. Many of the coaches have, or at one time had, a child at Heritage Elementary school. We are a member of FIRST in Michigan, the organization responsible for the regional and state competitions.
In Michigan, FLL is an upper elementary school program with teams comprised of up to 10 students who learn, play, hone skills, and acquire new ones.
- Apply math and science concepts to research, design, build, and program autonomous robots
- Use LEGO® SPIKE Prime to solve missions based on real-world problems.
- Practice important teamwork skills.
- Learn from and interact with adult Mentors and Coaches.
- Work as a group to overcome obstacles.
FIRST is more than robots. Its vision is to develop the next generation of innovators and leaders. Each season we will focus on 3 areas: Core Values, an Innovation Project and the Robot Game.
