Why We are Researching Volcanoes




This year’s FIRST LEGO League theme is Nature’s Fury. Our team chose Volcanoes, in particular Mt. St. Helens in Washington state USA, as our research topic, because they pose as a danger to so many people all over the world, but no one knows how to stop them. Volcanoes have people living all around them, and the best thing scientists can do to help the people is evacuate them over an uncertain warning. Many people are very stubborn and don’t want to leave their home, as we saw during Hurricane Sandy. This is why we are addressing the three parts of the Nature’s Fury theme: Prepare – Stay Safe – Rebuild.
