Solve problems in:

The Project
Identify a problem when
people and animals interact
Design a solution that makes the interaction
better for animals, people, or both
Share your problem and solution with others
For ANIMAL ALLIESSM, think of people and
animals as allies in the quest to make life better
for everyone. Sometimes people help animals
and sometimes animals help people. Your
Project mission this season is to make our
interactions with animals better hopefully
better for all of us.

Solve problems using:

The Core Values

We are a team.
We do the work to find solutions with guidance from our coaches and mentors.
We know our coaches and mentors don't have all the answers; we learn together.
We honor the spirit of friendly competition.
What we discover is more important than what we win.
We share our experiences with others.
We display Gracious Professionalism and Coopertition in everything we do.
We have FUN!

Identify Think about all the different ways


that people interact with animals. Sometimes it
happens on purpose and sometimes it happens
by accident. Pick a situation when people and
animals interact, then identify a specific
problem you want to solve.
After you select a problem, find out about the
current solutions. Why does this problem still
exist? Why arent the current solutions good
enough? What could be improved?

The 2016/2017
FIRST LEGO League
Challenge
In the past, people
often thought about
how animals could help us.
Today, its time to think
about how we can help
each other. What might
become possible when we
work together with our
ANIMAL ALLIESSM?

In the ANIMAL ALLIESSM Challenge, an


animal is any member of the scientific
animal kingdom (besides humans) that is
currently alive today.

Design Next, design a solution to your


problem. Any solution is a good start. Your
ultimate goal is to design an innovative solution
that adds value to society by improving
something that already exists, using something
that exists in a new way, or inventing something
totally new.

Share Think about who your solution might


help, share your idea with at least one person.
Present your solution to people who own, sell,
or care for animals. Maybe share with a
professional or someone who helped you learn
about your problem. Can you think of any other
groups of people who might be interested in
your idea?
Finally, prepare a presentation to share your
work with the judges at a tournament. Your
presentation must be live and may include
posters, slideshows, models, multimedia clips,
props, costumes, and more. Be creative, but
make sure you introduce your problem,
solution, and how you shared your idea.
