2021-2022 Lego League Season Info
Lego League involves learning leadership skills, basic robotics, and programming by leveraging the Lego Mindstorms program and US FIRST's themed competition format.
The season runs from September through February and typically involves weekly 1 hour meetings in the evening to work on the team's robot and presentation. Students in grades 4-6 are eligible to participate.
In order to field a team, we will need between 1-3 adult volunteers to help actively lead our teams. While familiarity with programming is helpful, it is not required (and can be taught!).
If you are interested in helping lead a team or simply for more information, please contact Christian Wolfe at 814-931-1159 or wolfect529@yahoo.com.
More information about US FIRST and Lego League is available at https://www.firstinspires.org/robotics/fll
