FLL Teams,
There are two upcoming FLL events in the Hampton Roads area that I wanted to make folks aware of: Brick by Brick Lego Ship Building Event and the Hampton Roads Spring FLL Scrimmage. We're looking for teams interested in participating in either or both. If you are interested in either of them or just want more information, let me know. Feel free to pass the information below along to anyone who might be interested.
Brick by Brick Lego Ship Building Event
* When: Saturday, February 6th, 10am-5 pm
* Where: Hampton Roads Naval Museum, Norfolk VA
* What: Fun public event including Lego ship building contests and opportunities, play areas for all ages, robotics demonstrations, etc.
* Cost: FREE!!! (possible small cost for Jr. FLL Expo if we hold one)
* FLL teams are needed to demo their robots. A table/field will be provided and the entire team does not need to be there. Teams can sign up for whatever amount of time they would like
* Jr. FLL teams are needed for a possible expo - if we get enough interest, we'll do an expo!
Spring FLL Scrimmage:
* When:
Saturday, June 4th * Where: Christopher Newport University, Newport News VA
* Who: Any group of 9-14 year old students interested in having a team (you do NOT need to be a registered FLL team)
* Cost: FREE for teams and spectators. Food will be available for purchase if interested. There will be lots of other STEM activities at the event as well.
* Challenge: FLL 2015 Challenge - Trash Trek (if you are a new team and need the field challenge, please contact me). The tournament will be robot game and informal robot design judging only. No presentation or core values judging sessions. We will not use age divisions but will likely have rookie and veteran team divisions so this will be a great place to try FLL for the first time.
Let me know if you have any questions, would like more information or are interested in participating.
Thanks,
Karen
