Robots to the Rescue
ACS Canberra helps show Canberra youths how biomedical engineering can lead to happier and healthier lives.

The ACS (Australian Computer Society) Canberra Branch is giving back to the community by sponsoring eight youth teams in the upcoming First Lego League (FLL).

The FLL is a hands-on program for children aged nine to 16 years, and uses challenges based on real world scientific problems to engage children in research, problem solving, and engineering. This year’s theme builds on biomedical engineering and how it can lead to happier and healthier lives.

The FLL provides a fun and innovative way to showcase the opportunities and dynamic career choices available to young people in information communication and technology (ICT).

Be sure to check out the First Lego League this Saturday at Radford College from 10am to 2pm. This week will determine which five of the eight teams will be selected to represent ACT in the Nationals taking place at Macquarie University on December 4.
