First Lego League new and potential coaches orientation/ workshop 2025

Introduce your students or children to the hardest fun they will ever have and at the same time introduce them to the world of LEGO rebotics. FIRST Lego League Challenge is a partnership between

FIRST Robotics ( https://www.firstlegoleague.org/)

and LEGO Education ( https://education.lego.com/en-us/competitions/).

This training workshop will introduce teachers, parents, mentors and assistants to the world of FIRST LEGO League Challenge. This program is for young people between the ages of 8-14 who are interested in learning about building, programming and competing with LEGO robots. This program has over 80,000 teams around the world. Connecticut has 150 teams. Registration starts in early May and continues until October of 2025. Competitions are held in 8 locations around the state in November and December.

If you are new to FIRST see the following video for an understanding of what FIRST is about.

Glastonbury for TECHNOLOGY? Not Glastonbury CT But Glastonbury England. Come to the training and I will explain.? Hint who might be buried in Glastonbury England.

Training is at Lyme Old Lyme High School. We will start at 9 but I will have the coffee on at 8.

Come early and network. Get a tour of the LOLHS shop where Hall of Fame FIRST team 236 has built FRC robots for 27 seasons.

Snacks and bottled water will also be available. We have Ev3 robots to use and computers although you are welcome to bring your own.

If you want lunch we will collect $10 for grinders or pizza depending on demand.
