Both of the Alpha Dogs’ run FLL teams, the Delta Pups and the Gamma Pups did extremely well last Saturday, November 24th at Rick Hansen Secondary School in their first ever events. The Delta Pups even qualified for the provincial championships in February. Great work to everyone involved!
The Delta and Gamma Pups are quickly to work this season, with their competition approaching fast - November 24th. Here’s a video of one of the mechanisms in action!

The Alpha Dogs and the Caledon Public Library are excited to announce the forming of two FIRST Lego League teams in Bolton! Kids ages 9 - 14 will learn how to build, test, and program an autonomous robot using LEGO® MINDSTORMS® technology to solve a set of missions in the Robot Game. This program will run out of the Albion Bolton Branch of the Caledon Public Library, from the start of September until the end of November. Unfortunately there are only 20 spots available. To apply please send us a letter explaining what experience you have with technology and why you would be a great part of this team. All letters must be submitted by August 12th.
Please send letters, and any questions you might have to:

The Alpha Dogs have been working hard during Week 2. The robot is almost fully designed, and parts are beginning to be manufactured and assembled by the build team. The build team has also been working on reinforcing our toolboxes to allow the to be transported easier between competitions, and allow them to carry more components and tools. The programming team has finished updating all of the software for driving the robot, and is currently working on developing code for the robot.
