3 Great Opportunities!!

Hello coaches,

I just wanted to make you all aware of three great upcoming events in Ontario that coaches or teams can attend in order to learn something or help promote FLL. I have created a little video here for you to see how to register for an event in the FLL registration system in case you want to register for any or all of the following opportunities. Please help us spread the word about FLL and get more children involved in this amazing adventure!

Event #1:
St. Mildred's Robotics Symposium in Oakville on October 16th (yes, THIS Saturday!). Please either go into the events tab in the FLL registration system and search for St. Mildred's, or click here and register for your workshop this way. This event is a coaches' training workshop for coaches only.

Event #2:
Toronto Hobby Show at the Toronto International Centre from November 5-7th. For this event we are looking for teams who are interested in showcasing their stuff as people walk through the exhibits. We're looking for enthusiastic teams who are eager to spread the word about FLL. This could be a great opportunity for you to do outreach, practise your project presentation, and/or just get together to work on your robot missions. You may attend one day, two days, or all three days if you so desire.

There are 3 days to this event and they are all listed as separate events in FLL's system (please use the FLL registration system to apply for this event. If you would like to apply to attend more than just one day, please go back into the system and register for any additional days you wish to attend. There will be snacks provided on Friday, and a pizza lunch on Saturday and Sunday. The times for each day are as follows: Friday: 1 p.m. - 5 p.m. Saturday: 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. Sunday 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. This event is for coaches and children.

Event #3:
Robots Rule at the Ontario Science Centre on November 20th and/or 21st. Teams will load in at 9 a.m. The event runs from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. 1 parking space is free per team. 2 mentors can attend per team and will receive free admission to the OSC (as will the children on the team). Coaches can spell off each other to take a few children through the OSC to see the exhibits. As with the Hobby Show opportunity you can choose to attend just one day or both days. This event is for coaches and children.

Thank you for all you do! Your dedication is admirable and very much appreciated!
