GENERAL INFORMATION
Who:
The Student Chapter of the Society of Manufacturing Engineers club on the campus of Lorain County Community College hosts area students for a one-day competition. This event is sponsored by the Nordson Corporation.
What:
The Lego Olympiad is a design and building contest using Lego-type construction components. The intention of the contest is to provide an engineering-related activity that exposes students to the world of mechanisms, machinery, moving parts, design, teamwork, planning, and construction techniques in a competitive environment. There are three divisions of competition:
The Computer Controlled and Theme Divisions allow teams of two to five members to compete using their own personal Legos and/or those supplied by their school/sponsoring group. These two divisions are limited to students in grades 4-12.
The Open Division allows students grades K-8 (or younger) to compete using their own personal Legos and/or those supplied by their school. Open Division participants can compete individually or in teams of up to five people.
Trophies and awards will be presented at the conclusion of the contest.
