Hello Coaches,
Today's team blast has three topics:
- Survey re: Curriculum Connections
- URGENT: Reminder of Official Qualifying Tournament Registration - see attachment for confirmation of whether or not you registered yet
- Resources & Training
1. Survey re: Curriculum Connections
Teachers, have you ever dreamt of integrating FLL into your classroom? We are very interested in creating some resources for teachers to introduce the FLL experience into their classrooms. We would like to hear from you as teachers what YOU would need in order to pull that off. We would truly appreciate your help by filling out this survey to give us your thoughts.
2. Reminder of Official Qualifying Tournament Registration - Tournament registration closes THIS FRIDAY!! NOTE: This tournament information does NOT apply in any way to TDSB Teams!
Please see the East and West files which indicate whether or not we have received your tournament registration choice. If you see your Team Number/Name you HAVE registered (final assignments to be sent out next week).
If you DO NOT see your team represented in these files on 10/21/15 you have NOT registered for your tournament.
3. Resources & Training
We have a number of resources and opportunities for teams.
- Please sign up for the Symposium at St. Mildred's Lightbourne School on Saturday, October 31. Many of the workshops offered at the kickoff in Toronto earlier in the year will be repeated so if you couldn't make that session, this would be a GREAT way to learn more!
Sessions include: Programming, Building, Fun Presentation Ideas for the Research Project, and What To Expect At/How to Prepare for a Tournament!
Sign up HERE!
- Please check out FIRST Canada's updated resources page here. Among other things, it includes:
- A list of professionals to which you can reach out and ask questions about your Trash Trek Project!
- Face to face opportunities in Hamilton and Waterloo.
- Trash Trek Resources
- Coach Resources
NOTE: Please remember to register for your tournament if you haven't done so already (check the attachments if you're not sure). AGAIN, this does not apply to you if you are a TDSB team.
East Division Tournament Registration (for teams IN or EAST of Toronto, including North Bay)
West Division Tournament Registration (for teams WEST of Toronto, including Sudbury)
