Why is FIRST Lego League one of my favorites?

The answer is actually very simple.

I like to play with colorful plastic pieces. I like to figure out mechanical problems. I like to program and get the robot to do the work.

More importantly, I like to work on a research topic that can have a positive impact on the world, e.g. Ocean Odyssey (2005) - http://www.firstlegoleague.org/nobanner.aspx?pid=17940, Nano Quest (2006) - http://www.firstlegoleague.org/nobanner.aspx?pid=21380, and Power Puzzle (2007) - http://www.firstlegoleague.org/default.aspx?pid=60

And most importantly, I can work with kids that are very enthusiastic about doing something great for the world.
