CITY SHAPERSM

Designing the buildings of the future

Attention, builders of tomorrow! Let’s design and build better places to live and work for everyone. Combine your problem-solving skills and creativity in the 2019/2020 CITY SHAPERSM season, where you and your friends will shape a better future – together.

Challenge Description

Architects design and construct buildings. They combine science and art to make buildings and structures for their clients. Sometimes they make new buildings and sometimes they redesign old ones. They work as part of a larger team, just like yours. Structural, civil and environmental  engineers make sure a project suits its site. Construction workers like electricians, plumbers and carpenters, and project managers make sure the job stays on time and within budget. Every role is important to get the job done.
 
Our cities and towns face big issues, like transportation, accessibility and even natural disasters. How can we shape a better future for everyone? It will take teamwork and imagination. Are you ready to build a better tomorrow together?
 
Take care: You will find the complete descriptions of the Robot Game Missions and the innovative project from this year on in the Team Meeting Guides and Engineering Notebooks (Download from Coach-Login). The guides abd notebooks support teams by going through the 12 team sessions step-by-step and include great tipps and hints.
 
During the season you will work on the different parts of the educational program and you will complete all parts of the challenge and present your results to judges on the tournament day.
 

Robot Game

During the Robot-Game your team will:
  • Identify Missions to solve.
  • Design, build and program a LEGO Robot to complete the Missions.
  • Test and refi ne your program and design.

Your Robot will have to navigate, capture, transport, activate, or deliver objects. You and your Robot will only have 2½ minutes to complete as any Missions as possible. So, be creative!
