VW Robotics!

VW Dads Club wishes to congratulate the VW Robotics Club for their recent success at the 2011 LA Region Eagle Rock Plaza. The Verdugo Woodlands Robotics Club took third place in the tournament and won the trophy for the First Lego League Core Values. Here is how the First Lego League describes their Core Values.

Core Values

The FLL Core Values are the cornerstones of the FLL program. They are among the fundamental elements that distinguish FLL from other programs of its kind. By embracing the Core Values, participants learn that friendly competition and mutual gain are not separate goals, and that helping one another is the foundation of teamwork.

  •     We are a team.
  •     We do the work to find solutions with guidance from our coaches and mentors.
  •     We know our coaches and mentors don’t have all the answers; we learn together.
  •     We honor the spirit of friendly competition.
  •     What we discover is more important than what we win.
  •     We share our experiences with others.
  •     We display Gracious Professionalism and Coopertition™ in everything we do.
  •     We have FUN!
The VW Robotics Club is a unique partnership between Verdugo Woodlands Elementary school and Verdugo Woodlands Dads Club. The Dads Club has provided resources and most importantly encouragement and support. The Dads Club couldn’t be prouder of our Robotics Club!
