".. Children ages 9 to 16* from over 70 countries will redesign how we gather knowledge and skills in the 21st century. Teams will teach adults about the ways that kids need and want to learn.  Get ready for a whole new class – FLL WORLD CLASSSM! "

The theme this year is about new ways to learn. I came across this link in my FB about learning in a  digital age.  I thought it might benefit teams/coaches to take a look see :) 
Good luck this coming year!
