Volunteering for Northern California FLL
Many volunteers
are needed to enable the Northern California FLL teams to compete at tournaments!
| Tournaments & Locations - more details coming soon | Date |
|---|---|
|
Most weekends between 11/22/08 and 1/24/08 throughout Northern California |
Each event requires many volunteers with a broad spectrum of talents to support teams, volunteers, audience members and competition demands. We cannot hold the competitions without volunteers. A variety of volunteer positions are available including both technical and non-technical. Many positions are available for those with no prior experience with a robotics competitions and training for judges and referees is available.
What is FIRST LEGO League?
FIRST in partnership with The LEGO Company has developed an international robotics competition that is open to youth ages 9 to 14 years old. FIRST LEGO League develops critical skills in science and technology in a super-charged learning atmosphere. The competition involves students, teachers, mentors and coaches - and this year, this means more than 10,000 teams in 40 countries will be inspired to learn more about Climate (this year's theme). Students design, build, program and test an autonomous LEGO Mindstorms robot developed as a solution to a real world problem developed with experts. Students acquire skills such as problem solving, project management, critical thinking and teamwork: skills necessary to their future and the future of society.
