Hello FLL Friends, A few important dates/events are coming up that I wanted to share with you: 1.? Ultimate Summer Kickoff Event - Science Museum of Virginia - Saturday, June 19th This will be a fun, kickoff the summer event held at the Science Museum in Richmond. There will be activities, music, food, and events for families to enjoy as a way to kickoff and celebrate summer.? We have been asked to showcase the different FIRST programs, including FIRST LEGO League.? We will have a FLL table and field set up kit there and are looking for some teams (partial teams are fine) to come and talk about FLL.? No need to worry about running a lot of robot missions, we are simply looking for students to talk about FLL, explain what the program is, show what a FLL robot looks like, and talk about the fun you have had as a member of FLL.? The event is from 10:00 am - 4:00 pm, but you can take either the morning or afternoon shift.? Please consider if you have a few team members willing to come talk about FLL and at the same time enjoy a fun filled event.? 2.? 2010 Challenge - BODY FORWARD - Registration opens May 3rd at 12:00 pm EST In this "Engineering Meets Medicine" Challenge, FLL teams will explore the world of Biomedical Engineering.? It seems like we were just celebrating the Smart Moves challenge, and already it is time to start thinking about getting your team registered for the 2010 challenge.? Why not register your team early and start building excitement for the new season.? Registration opens next Monday at noon!! If you have any questions about the Ultimate Summer Kickoff or about the 2010 FLL season, please don't hesitate to send me an email.? If you have team members interested in helping at the Science Museum on June 19th, please let me know.?
