You may have to start a 4-H club and be chartered (not a very hard thing to do). 4-H is also one of the partners of FLL and they have a free on-line tutorial program that teaches kids basic NXT programming. Google "Fire 4-H Robotics".
Good luck
The agent will gladly help you.

I am having a difficult time finding a non-profit group that will support this. FLL coaches manual suggests working with a school. Our school PTA has said "No" and the principal is not sure how to handle such a procedure.
Can anyone offer guidance on how to proceed? Do you know any groups in Virginia and/or Richmond that might support a team and accept these donations on our behalf?
I appreciate any advice!
