The Expo

[See more photos here]

The LRC Jr.FLL Expo was held on May 28, 2011. The theme for the season was about Biomedical Engineering. We believe in Jr.FLL’s philosophy that “every team and team member’s achievements are celebrated.” Each participant in our Expo who was a member of a registered team received an award. The Expo was an outdoor event inside a tent which could accommodate approximately 20 teams. Beside the standard Jr.FLL Expo activities, we provided enrichment activities for the participants. The following were additional activities that we brought to our Expo:

• BioBus with hands-on experiments using microscopes and demonstration of micro- and nano-bots
• We had surgeons from Robotic Surgery at. Barnabas Medical Center who came to the Expo as Reviewers and gave out awards to children (see this article).

In addition to the above, our Expo was part of the Family Festival Day, the outdoor fun day for young children from 10AM to 3PM. The participants and their siblings enjoyed free activities such as inflatable rides, face painting, and more.

The Post-Expo Surprise

Children who participated in Jr.FLL Expo were invited by St. Barnabas Medical Center to attend a special hands-on workshop in robotic surgery. They got to try out daVinci Surgery system. See this article for details of the post-expo event.
