About the Global Innovation Award:
Throughout the FIRST LEGO League ANIMAL ALLIESSM Season, teams have designed innovative solutions to improve the way humans and animals interact. Outstanding project solutions that demonstrate originality and have the
potential to add significant value in the world are given the opportunity to participate in the annual FIRST LEGO League Global Innovation Award.
The FIRST LEGO League Global Innovation teams are changing the world, one invention at a time.
Participating in the Global Innovation Award allows teams to compete for a top prize of $20,000 USD to continue work on their inventions and is potentially attainable by 85% of all teams from over 80 countries around the globe who
attend an official tournament.
If you have any questions, or for more information, please contact the Global Innovation Award Volunteer Coordinator, JT Yoerger, at [log in to unmask].
To be an Event Volunteer, you must be 16 years of age. Volunteers who are 13 -15 years may participate if they are volunteering with an adult (a parent or coach, for example). In addition to Event Volunteers, we have a few select opportunities
on Tuesday, June 20, for FTC or FRC teams to support some specific activities with
FIRST LEGO League teams. If your team is interested in this outreach opportunity, please contact Sonya at

Thank you for your continued support! Volunteers are FIRST!
With Hi-5’s and Admiration,
