FLL Information Session 2016









Dear teachers and parents,

The FLL information session are coming up and Luan Heimlich from FIRST Australia will be running a series of 90 minute briefing and training sessions about First Lego League (FLL) and FIRST Technical Challenge (FTC) on the 6th and 7th of April 2016.

Luan has coached FLL/FTC teams in Australia and the United States of America and currently oversees FIRST programs in Australia.

Who is this for?

These sessions are open to school teachers, coaches and mentors of FLL and FTC teams so we would like you to come along and find out about what FLL is all about, and how you can get involved this year!
What is FIRST Lego League?
FIRST LEGO League teams research a real-world problem such as food safety, recycling, energy, etc., and are challenged to develop a solution. They also must design, build, program a robot using LEGO MINDSTORMS(r) technology, then compete on a table-top playing field.
It all adds up to tons of fun while they learn to apply science, technology, engineering, and math concepts (STEM), plus a big dose of imagination, to solve a problem. Along their discovery journey, they develop critical thinking and team-building skills, basic STEM applications, and even presentation skills, as they must present their solutions with a dash of creativity to judges. They also practice the Program's signature Core Values.
