What made you unimpressed by it?[/quote]
that it didn't impress me[/quote]

Thanks for the helpful details.[/quote]

That wasn't actually me. I just thought it was very by the book, not a ton of creativity. And they separated the kids by gender. [/quote]

Thanks for the feedback. Our goal is to get better every semester.

The robotics (FIRST LEGO League) is an interesting beast.  The kit looks like a toy, but when you apply the product to specific academic goals like FLL does, it gets EXTREMELY deep very quickly. For this age group and experience level, we thought that we gave the students too much "freedom to be creative" in the beginning and they were more productive when we pulled in the reigns a little and gave them more targeted tasks.  We will continue to evaluate this process.

As to gender, we happened to have a group of very quiet and shy girls, so we put them together so they could feel free speak up, express their ideas, preferences, etc. This group was by far the best at completing all of the team-building types tasks.

The older and more assertive girls were in a mixed group.
