Core Values
Discovery
- We’ve been on a journey of discovery this season.
- Our discoveries are amazing to us, and we have learned a lot this year.
- We have grown stronger in core values throughout the year.
- Team is the most important thing.
Integration
- We take our ideas everywhere we go.
- We bring our own water bottles to practice, so we don’t use paper cups.
- We learned to use Google docs for taking notes instead of using paper.
- We learned to work well in groups here and in school.
- We teach others to work as a team and to solve problems logically.
Inclusion
- The team members who’ve been on the team longer taught the newer ones what they knew about programming, building, teamwork, everyday knowledge.
- We get everyone’s opinions before making big decisions.
- We break down big decisions into smaller ones for easier group decision making.
- We break up into smaller groups and rotate to get things done more efficiently and to make sure everyone is included in every aspect of FLL.
- We grow stronger as a team every time we do core values.
Coopertition
- We built the game models that the judges and coaches were trained on.
- We built the game models for the tournament.
- We suggested that the tournament put documents online – instead of printing everything out for the teams.
- We try our best to listen to each other’s ideas before we think about what we want to say.
Fun
- We earn gumballs for trying hard, working well together.
- When our gumball jar is full, we get a dessert night.
- We get gumballs for bringing new ideas to meetings.
- We also answer brain teaser riddles for gumballs, which are fun.
- We say “We” instead of “I”.
- We like practicing Core Values Challenges.
