What to bring
What to Bring
Team Poster

The team poster is your team's chance to show off everything they learned. A standard trifold board works well. Use the Team Journey and Core Values pages in each student's Engineering Notebook for ideas, and add pictures, drawings or printouts of your SPIKE Essential code.
Put your team name and number on the poster.
Team Model

Use the parts of the BIOGLOW Explore Set and the mat
-
Include at least one part that's motorized and coded with LEGO Education SPIKE Essential

A plant or animal your team designed

A rainforest-related job
-
A tool or technology used to study biodiversity

Bring a printed team roster from the FIRST Dashboard to check-in. Every student on it needs a signed Consent & Release form in the Dashboard before the festival. Step-by-step help: Getting Competition Ready in the FIRST Dashboard.
