1. Building Core Values Brick by Brick Lynn Crockett Core Values Judging

2. Core Values Judging & LEGO® or Robotics Activities Children actively involved. Kids do the work Materials used to express theme are consistent Not Worlds Apart!

3. ……. Gracious professionalism…coopertition…kids doing the work…share our experiences….we have fun…. Picture this…

4. Meaningful Expresses theme Integrates well with other aspects of FLL Easy to operate and duplicate World class; valid Open-ended Observable behaviors are judged Behaviors judged are those needed for success in FLL: Create robotic solutions with teamwork Design a Hands-On Activity Two Solutions Proposed

5. X Factor…. When dealing with people, remember you are not dealing with creatures of logic, but creatures of emotion.” --Dale Carnegie “When dealing with people, remember you are not dealing with creatures of logic, but creatures of emotion.” --Dale Carnegie “The soft stuff is always harder than the hard stuff.” Roger Enrico Vice Chairman, Pepsico Judges, Teams, Partners

6. Mind-bone’s connected to the hand bone… The LEGOLAND Approach

7. Keeping it Real: Observable Values “When you think of Things, “When you think of Things, you find sometimes that a Thing you find sometimes that a Thing which seemed very Thingish inside you which seemed very Thingish inside you is quite different when it gets out is quite different when it gets out into the open into the open and has other people looking at it." and has other people looking at it." A. A. Milne A. A. Milne Expressing Core Values

8. 5 minute Building Activity Build ONE model that shows how your team expresses Core Values Include everyone’s role—how are you connected? Pose Open-ended Q’s to build… Show how your team works together Build a model of Gracious Professionalism. Strongest challenge or greatest contribution your team has in FLL Solution #1: Build Your Team

9. 5 Minutes: Tell your story Kids focus: Describe model. Not to feel judged on intangibles. Judges focus: Building process, interactions, insights expressed, behaviors. Not to judge intangibles. Describe the model. Describe the model. What meaning is attached to the parts? What meaning is attached to the parts? No need to persuade, just describe. No need to persuade, just describe. Solution #1: Build Your Team

10. Building and Programming in Real Time Makes sense—Judge Core Values behaviors kids use in FLL Observable Teamwork Create robotic solutions with teamwork—what FLL is all about. Team tested 3 years at LEGOLAND, 3+ years at local tournament. 3 years at LEGOLAND, 3+ years at local tournament. No overlap--On the Spot vs Robot Performance high-performers. “Kids do the work” in On the Spot No overlap--On the Spot vs Robot Performance high-performers. “Kids do the work” in On the Spot Solution #2: On the Spot
