Our Current Project


"Keeping Food Safe"

 

The Challenge
To improve the quality of food by finding ways to prevent food contamination

 

About the Project
In the 2011 Food Factor Challenge, the Brick Brains 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 our job is to find ways to prevent or combat these contaminates. As part of the Food Factor Challenge, we 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 our innovative food safety solutions. Stay tuned!
