Can FIRST LEGO League Teams improve our quality of life? Through the 2010 Body ForwardTM Challenge, K-4* will explore the cutting-edge world of Biomedical Engineering to discover innovative ways to repair injuries, overcome genetic predispositions, and maximize the body's potential, with the intended purpose of leading happier and healthier lives.
Your challenge this season is to explore the cutting-edge world of Biomedical Engineering to discover innovative ways to repair injuries; overcome illnesses and disabilities; and build healthier, stronger bodies. Once you know how scientists, engineers, and doctors work together to find solutions, do some research. What kinds of problems keep people from leading happy and healthy lives?
How could your team help solve one of those problems?

DRAW the following:
The Show-Me Poster requires kids to illustrate their research and
team journey. It provides an opportunity for them to share what they
studied, what they learned, and how they thought to improve the
problem they chose. Their creative minds get started working on how
to present their information and solution.
The Model portion of the Challenge gets kids' hands busy. This is where they build a representation of what they are researching (according to the Challenge requirements), incorporating simple machines and movement into their creation. Teams are able to utilize a motor to power movement in their model, or they can move an element of it by hand.
