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.

Whether it is environmental, financial, social, or cultural, each energy choice can have positive impacts in some areas while having negative consequences in others. The challenge is to find practical solutions in your community without ignoring the larger impacts your action or inaction can have on your life or around the world. As you work to find the balance between all these issues, realize that the solution for your home, community, country, or world will be unique.

As we work to make the puzzle pieces fit, we must consider all parts of energy use, including how energy is made, how it is stored, how we use it, how much we consume, and how we dispose of associated waste.

How will the pieces of your puzzle fit together? What is your energy solution?
