FIRST LEGO League: Explore


Youth / Youth Courses -
Fall 2024

Course Description:

In FIRST LEGO League (FLL) Explore, students focus on the fundamentals of LEGO engineering as they explore real-world problems, learn and design basic code, and create unique solutions made with LEGO bricks and powered by LEGO Education WeDo 2.0. Teams of up to 6 students, led by parent-volunteer coaches, will meet 1 day each week for up to 1 hour. During these team "practices", teams will work together to develop a solution and model related to the current season's theme. The Fall 2024 season theme is "Submerged". Teams will explore the layers of the ocean and bring their learnings and ideas to the surface as they “sea” into the future. The season culminates with an FLL Explore Expo where each team will present their unique solution, model and learning. The Fall 2024 Expo is scheduled for Saturday, Decmber 14, time: TBD. (Parents are invited to attend!)

Logistics:

  • All teams will practice on Tuesday evenings at 6:15pm at JCSD facilities. 
  • Registration Deadline: Tuesday, October 8
  • Tentative Coaches Meeting: Tuesday, October 22 @ 5:30pm
  • Teams will be contacted by parent-volunteer coaches by Sunday, October 26.
  • Practices begin Tuesday, October 29 at 6:15pm. (Most teams will practice for approximately 45-50min.)
  • Practice locations will be determined after team rosters are created and volunteer coaches are assigned. 

Instructor:

This program is dependent on parent-volunteers to operate. Rosters are limited to 6 students. That means we need to identify a Head Coach and ideally 2 Assistant Coaches for every six students. A MINIMUM of 2 adults (Coach + Assistant Coach) are required to be on-site to safely supervise each practice. No LEGO or robotics experience is necessary. FLL and Community Education will provide all of the materials and support necessary to guide teams through each practice. With small rosters - all parents should consider how they can volunteer to support the team.
