• Would you still do FLL even if there were no awards? Why?

  • I will still do it at least we will have lots of fun building lego together.

• How do you all know each other, and how did the team get together?

  • We all knew each other because some of us were from our soccer team, some of us were from our Chinese school, and some of us we were just friends. But we all like Lego, so we make a good team.
