The Topic

Our FLL topic was "City Shaper" and most of us were confused, so we decided to break our problem into small pieces.

We identified the questions we need to answer to design our city:

1. How do we get water into the city?
2. How do we farm and obtain food for the citizens?
3. Where do we place different buildings?
4. Where should we construct the city?
5. What points of interest should we include to attract people?
6. How do we conserve city space?
7. How do we protect houses based on the climate?
8. How do we educate the kids in our city?
9. How can we create job openings?

We also got many things a city needs and things we can add to it:

Transportation:                                                                                              Lifestyle:
Bikes                                                                                                             Gyms
Magnetic-powered cars                                                                                 Schooling
Air tubes that suck you up
Golf carts                                                                                                       Energy:
Airports                                                                                                          Solar Power
                                                                                                                       Wind Power
Business and Food:
Shopping Places
Malls
Groceries
Warehouses
Office Buildings

Housing:
Apartments
Houses
Hotels

Socializing:
Parks
Child Friendly Places
Entertainment
Pools

This will help us with our design in the future!

Team Roles

After the team name was decided, it was time to give out roles.
FLL is not only a project, but a journey. 
Throughout FLL we learn lots of skills that we can use in our entire life. 

We decided to give each member of our team ownerships of tasks and complete it. 

The team roles and what they do are the following:

Finance - Treasurer.

Order manger - Orders parts and boards etc.

Communication and coordinator- Communication towards everything including parties etc. and will send all emails.

Social media and Website - Blogging plus website maker, and keeping viewers updated as well.

Programming / GitHub -  Lead not only person doing programming, as everyone will get a chance to program.

Team Lead - What did everyone do today and will give out tasks to each member.

LEGO head designer - Attachment and body lead and he/she will also build, however, everyone will be able to build. He/she gets to approve the final Robot.

Project Lead - Will decide on research tasks and board.

We will keep you posted as we each transition into our new roles.

Welcome!

Welcome to the Tech Duckies blog!

On this blog, you can follow our adventure through FLL.

You may be wondering, "Why did we choose this name?"

Before we even thought of Tech Duckies, we chose to write a couple names down: 

Engigeers
Next Gen
Ritz
Gummy
King Cookie
LME Skyscrapers
Tech
Duckies

Fire Breathing Rubber Duckies

Eventually, we got to the point where 2 people wanted Team Tech, where as 5 people wanted Team Duckies. We mashed them together because everyone agreed to the name, and voila! Our team was born.

We hope you enjoy watching our team through FLL grow and thrive.
