Nature's Fury, 2013 FLL Challenge

First Lego League's 2013 challenge is titled 'Nature's Fury'.

From the FLL website :

The goal of each FIRST LEGO League Challenge theme is to help kids see themselves as capable of improving the lives of others through addressing real-world problems.  We realize that natural disasters happen in some part of the world nearly every day, and they affect many people in unfortunate ways.  For those who have suffered losses in a natural disaster, this topic can be hard to discuss, but we know that many positive outcomes can result from asking a large group of creative kids to solve this type of real-world problem.

As our topic experts shared with us, thinking ahead about disaster preparedness can help a child feel less helpless in a disaster situation and improve his/her ability to cope.  We hope that participating in the Nature’s Fury season will empower FLL team members to make a difference and to feel prepared if they learn about or face a natural disaster in the future.
