FIRST Living Learning Community Team Building
Team 229's FIRST Living Learning Community was started on the idea of being able to more effectively mentor the FLL, FTC and FRC programs run by our team. As with any large effort
made by a group of dedicated people, team work, humility and selflessness are essentials in being an effective team. With that in mind Team 229 brought in Clarkson wellness coordinator
Dan Davis who works with groups ranging from Professional Sports Teams, Corporate Executive Teams and Greek Organizations to Residence Life Staff and various clubs. Mr. Davis uses
activities that stimulate crictical thinking, leadership and team cooperation. Many times Dan's activities will bring out many sides to peoples charachter and personalities. Dan uses this
as an opportunity to teach the participants by focusing on their reactions to the various situations that are encoutered. Team 229 was excitied to have the opportunitty to work Mr. Davis
and was able to develop some critical skills towards better serving our communitty through our team.
Antartic Night (January 2010)
Last month in January, Division By Zero team members were excited to have the opportunity work with Massena's Jefferson Elementary School in the Antartic Night challenge. This challenge consisted of using NXT Bricks combined with the temperature sensors to determine over time which sleeping bags were best designed to retain heat and keep out the cold.
