The Challenge for FLL OEC 2007 is Nano Quest and the official language is English.

Hence, all the presentations will be in English.

You can find the official rules, Q&A, the project and the missions on the www.firstlegoleague.org

Imagine a wire as thin as a toothpick that lifts a car off the ground...  Imagine clothes that never get dirty... Imagine a world where gravity doesn't matter... Imagine a fleet of programmed molecules that find and kill cancer cells, leaving healthy cells alone… Imagine going into space on an elevator made of tiny tubes...

What do all of these have in common?  Nanotechnology!

FLL teams have been to space, searched the oceans, and explored ways to help humankind.  We now zoom from the world we know, through a super high-powered atomic microscope, to the strange world of individual atoms.  Here, in a world 100,000 times smaller than the thickness of a strand of hair, everything jumps and shakes. 
 
As visionaries and scientists, FLL teams will explore unimaginably amazing new technologies that start in the Nano world and lead to the things we do and use every day.

FLL teams will discover the secrets of everyday stuff through this cutting-edge field

of research, where carbon Nanotubes, Buckyballs, molecular motors and quantum dots will be considered part of ordinary conversation. 

Sure this sounds like science fiction, but the future has arrived!  It's a very small world with big ideas and big debates…

7503 FLL teams have been researching and designing solutions with Nanotechnology!
