Hello Jr.FLL Coaches and Friends,
I know the Snack Attack registration just opened a few weeks ago, but
there are already many
teams registered in Virginia - how exciting!! For those of you
considering Jr.FLL, registration opened on August 1st and will remain
open through April, 2012. Jr.FLL is a very flexible program, and as a
coach/team you can choose what season you would like to participate.
Most teams meet for about 6 weeks and this can occur any time during
the year. Teams are composed of a maximum of 6 students, so the size
is very reasonable for the age group (ages 6-9). No experience is
needed to coach a team, just the desire to have fun alongside the
team!! When you register you will have access to coaches
materials/resources which you will find very helpful.
Anyway, for those teams that have registered or those that are
considering which season to participate, I want to pass on dates for
two Jr.FLL Expos that have been set. I'm sure there will be several
more throughout the state, but I did want to pass these two along since
the dates have been set. More details will follow on times,
registration, etc. but you can save the date(s).
FALL JR.FLL EXPO
A Jr.FLL Expo will be held on December 17th in Richmond. This Expo
will be held at St. Christopher's School in conjunction with a FIRST
Tech Challenge Qualifier (FTC is the mid-sized middle school/high
school robot). This will be an exciting day with the FTC competition
going on for all to watch. More details to follow.
SPRING JR.FLL EXPO
A Jr.FLL Expo will be held on April 21st at the Science Museum of
Virginia in Richmond. Again, more details to follow. This will be a
program showcase, with representatives/robots from the other FIRST
programs there.
I hope you all have a great Snack Attack season and I hope I'll see
many of you at the Jr.FLL Expos!!
Sally Sylvester
Senior Mentor Virginia
