Can FIRST LEGO League® teams improve the quality of food by finding ways to prevent food contamination? In the 2011 Food Factor Challenge, over 200,000 9-16 year olds from over 55 countries will explore the topic of food safety and examine the possible points of contamination our food encounters – from exposure to insects and creatures, to unsterile processing and transportation, to unsanitary preparation and storage – then find ways to prevent or combat these contaminates. In the Food Factor Challenge, teams will build, test, and program an autonomous robot using LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT to solve a set of Food Safety missions as well as research, develop, and share their innovative food safety solutions. Throughout their experience, teams will operate under FLL’s signature set of Core Values.

Louis J. Schmecker Memorial Mentor Award - Lorri O'Malley Team 2202 SIS Robotic Revolution
We wish to nominate Mrs. Lorri O'Malley because she has contributed so much to each area of our FLL experience. She has supplied many aspects of our team spirit activities and our project presentation displays. She has worked tirelessly on our pit display and other spirit items. She helped us with the robot heads, decorations and project presentation performance. her input on our presentation performance was critical to our success. During the entire season, she had perfect attendance at all of our scheduled work sessions, meetings, and open labs even when she had other commitments that needed to be re-arranged. The best thing about Mrs. O'Malley is that she is always very supportive of our team members and our ideas. She is very nice and will never over criticize our ideas. She has been very supportive and especially when something goes wrong, she will stand by us and boost our morale. We unanimously feel that Mrs. O’Malley should receive this year's Schmecker mentor award.
