Hello again

 

Here is the recording of the session offered by Share & Learn (apologies as I incorrectly named the group in my email yesterday).  You can also find all the links to resources mentioned in the video.  It is important to note that this session on coaching virtually is meant for a national audience.  While it is not specific to VA+DC FIRST LEGO League, we are planning to start a webinar series later this month to help address some of the regional questions that will certainly arise as we embark on this season.

Hi everyone

 

While so much remains unseen, FIRST and  Virginia + DC FIRST LEGO League have been looking at a variety of scenarios regarding how the deliver the 2020-21 RePlay season.  There are many factors to consider as we all wait for more guidance from state and local officials.  Although we are not able to share specific details at this time, we did want to offer the following opportunity to coaches from Share & Learn, an online community supporting youth robotics.

 

On June 30^th at 6pm, Share & Learn admin are hosting a zoom call brainstorming session with coaches on remote team meeting and how handle running a team this fall. The anxiousness and worry level has increased in the community and so we felt it was time for dialog – to understand the concerns and share ideas. If this is something that interests you, you are welcome to join too: https://forms.gle/61pBeEwUQARFtSXd8

 

I apologize for the late notice, but they do plan on recording the session and I will work to get that sent out on the Listserv when it becomes available.  If you are interested but not able to join tonight, you will be able to access it later on.  It is also important to note that the goal is not to give coaches insight as to game details or season play, but rather it is a place for coaches to come together and brainstorm how to handle the running of a team during these unusual circumstances.

 

Best regards,
