Four teams in Austin wanted to get a jump start on their FLL Project for the 2019-2020 City Shapers FLL Season.  The challenge hadn’t been released yet, but they did not want that to stop them from practicing their research skills.  What better way to research city problems then to look up the latest Bond Election approved by the City of Austin for 2018.  Identify which team choose which bond programs from https://www.austintexas.gov/sites/default/files/files/Finance/CFO/2018-Bond/COA_2018Bond_Booklet.pdf and what each bond program was called and cost the taxpayers of Austin.
  1. Even though there aren’t any beaches in Austin, the Skyscraper Surfers were big on outdoor fun, so they wanted to research how Austin would be using the Prop C funds to improve Parks and Recreation.
  2. The Tower Tinkerers where surprised to learn that Affordable Housing was the largest funded bond program and were curious how Austin proposed to use those funds.
  3. The Transportation Infrastructure bond program was researched by the team with a mode of transportation in their team name.
  4. Prop G was funded for more than Proc C, but less than Prop D which was not Affordable Housing.
  5. The team that studied Flood Mitigation had a strong affinity to understanding aquatic events since their team was named for an aquatic animal.
  6. Flood Mitigation was funded for more than Transportation Infrastructure.
  7. The Effervescent Electric Eels did not research Prop G.
