I hope your summer is going well so far and you're enjoying the warm weather.
We are very excited about our upcoming season which will launch in just over a month! We are planning a Kick-Off event for Saturday, September 22nd in Toronto. At the kick off event we will go over the game in detail and answer questions pertaining to the missions (as best we can). We are also planning to have a training component to the day where you can bring your team of kids (or as many as you can transport) to the event with your laptop and robot and come away with a pretty decent chassis, some knowledge of programming and building techniques, and perhaps even some missions started!
Along those lines, we are looking for experienced coaches who would be willing to present at this event to small groups of coaches/FLL team members. I would like to have a beginner workshop on basic building and programming. I would also like to have an intermediate programming group to teach more advanced concepts and an intermediate building group to teach about modular design and universal attachments. If you would be willing and are free to teach others and share your knowledge/experience, I would love to hear from you! Send me an email back or call me and we can discuss further.
More details to follow but for now, please mark you calendars with that date and plan to be in Toronto for the day to learn about FIRST LEGO League and the NXT robotics platform.
Have a great rest of summer!
Dave
