  1. Project Presentations DMNS Rookie Booster 2011

  2. 3 Challenge Parts

  3. Why a Project? • The FLL Project is critical! • FLL is not just about building & competing with robots. • It is about making connections. • Any successful engineering project requires a wide range of skills and abilities.

  4. Food begins to spoil from the moment it is harvested. For centuries, people have worked to protect their food and keep it safe. Think About It

  5. ??? • Have you ever thought about how your food stays fresh? • Have you ever thought about who invented these things? • Have you ever thought about how your food is protected from microscopic attacks? • Have you ever thought about where your food comes from and how it stays safe to eat?

  6. ??? • How do a veterinarian, a factory worker, a physicist, a truck driver, a mathematician, a farmer, a microbiologist, a nutritionist, a doctor, a warehouse worker, a chemist, a grocer, a technician, an engineer, an inspector, and a programmer work together to keep your food safe? Each one played a role in making sure that the food you eat helps you grow and stay healthy. What does each one do?

  7. Food Factor Project • Investigate your food and find one way to improve its safe delivery to you (few than 7 ingredients). • Identify a Problem • Create an Innovative Solution • Share with Others • Present Your Solution at a Tournament

  8. IDENTIFY A PROBLEM

  9. Consider • Where does your food come from? How is it grown? Where has it been? Who handled it? How did it get to your kitchen cupboard? Who protected it along the way? How did they prevent spoiling and contamination? How did they decide which food was good and which was spoiled or contaminated? Once you know about the threats your food faces and who helps protect it, do some research. What could go wrong? How could your food become contaminated or spoiled? How could your team help prevent one of those problems? How could your team protect or preserve your food?

  10. Ground to Table • Find out about every step your team’s food took in its journey from ground (where it was grown) to table (where it was eaten) • Learn about all the possible contamination and spoiling problems • Learn how these problems are detected and prevented now • Learn as much as you can about each ingredient in the food

  11. Food Journey

  12. CREATE AN INNOVATIVE SOLUTION

  13. Create an Innovative Solution Innovative: solution is not already in use by someone else it can be a new idea or an improvement on an existing idea

  14. Choose 1 problem Suggest a solution What’s being done? What will it take to make your team’s solution happen? How will your solution help people live happier and healthier lives? Why does the problem exist? Create an Innovative Solution

  15. SHARE WITH OTHERS

  16. Tell others about the problem & how your solution helps Give a talk for parents Create a web-site Perform a skit Make a comic book / poster / rap / flyers / poem Talk with experts Share with Others

  17. PRESENT YOUR SOLUTION AT A TOURNAMENT

  18. Eligibility for Project Awards • Describes the contamination or spoiling problem your team chose to research • Describes your team’s innovative solution • Describes how your team shared its findings with others • Uses media equipment only to enhance the live presentation

  19. Be Sure To… • Describe the food your team chose • What you learned about that food’s journey to your table • Identify an expert who is working on the problem • Tell about the research and sources • Setup and complete in 5 minutes or less

  20. Coaches Manuel Project Rubric FLL Web-site Project Guide & more Project Q&A - fllprojects@usfirst.org Web See what others have done with YouTube Resources for Past Projects

  21. Identify Your Problem Create an Innovative Solution Share with Others Remember

  22. Let’s Get Started • What are some foods in your fridge? • How does each one get from the ground to the table? • What problems can occur during these processes?

  23. Great Food Recalls in US History • Food recalls can happen for many reasons • Recalls are over seen by the FDA or USDA • Food is recalled due to contamination • Suspected or confirmed • Voluntary which can be challenging

  24. Major Recent Recalls • 380,000 pounds of deli meat (listeria) • 1 million pounds of ground beef (e.coli) • 546,000 pounds ground beef (e.coli) • 54,960 pounds turkey (salmonella)

  25. How many people could be effected? • US (population 222,131,141) • Colorado (population 5,025,748) • Denver (population 554,636) • Your School • Your Grade • Your Team
