PROJECTS
in 2011-2012, the theme of FLL was Food Factor, which was about food contamination. Our solution was the Frozonizer, which utilizes ozone technology to kill bacteria and pathogens on fresh produce. We made a working prototype of Frozonizer, tested its effectivenes at PennState Microbiology lab and almost got a patent for our innovation. Please, read more details at the link below.
In 2012 - 2013, the theme of FLL is Senior Solutions, which is about difficulties that senior citizens have. We were instructed to make a device or anything else that would help seniors in their everyday life. We designed a wheelchair with a special mechanism that helps seniors to get on and off the wheelchair easily. Also, a senior can drive the wheelchair using a remote control. Below is the course we all read to learn more about senior's difficulties.
Each year,as a part of FLL competition, we are asked to come up with an innovative solution to a real life issue based on that year's theme. After reasearching and discussing with professionals, we are expected to share our solution with community members and present it at the competition.

2013 Natures Fury
In 2013 - 2014, FLL chalenge is to use any device to help prevent, contol and provide relief from natural disasters. Our proposal is a large unmanned vehicle that would have the capability to go into the heart of a wildfire and do tasks to try to weaken or contain the fire. The vehicle would carry multiple sensors and equipment including heat sensors, multiple cameras and a metal body to keep the fire out. It would also have a protected pliable tube that would carry water from the nearest lake, stream, river or man-made source in order to allow the vehicle to spray large amounts of water on the fire to weaken it. It would also have a plow in the pront in order to dig trenches to stop the spread of the fire.
2014 World Class
