The power of FLL is not from the competition but from the experience. Going through the research, the leadership and the robot are all part of an great learning and growing experience. I have students that are in 4th grade and it has never bothered them once that there are 14 year old students on the team. They are very happy to learn from the older kids and grow with them.
