As our world grows and changes, so do our energy needs. The Power Puzzle missions get FLL teams to consider some of the energy choices we have available and how those choices affect the world. With the Power Puzzle project, your team has the opportunity to look at many types of energy choices, analyze the possibilities, and work to improve energy use.

  6. SELECT A BUILDING in your community and evaluate the energy use. Perform an energy audit. • Through research and speaking to experts, develop a SOLUTION to reduce energy consumption or move toward alternative energy use for the building. • SHARE the changes for your building with the community
