August 31st: FIRST FLL Challenge is released and the season officially starts! Hermantown Lego League provides guidance, administrative support, and the resources to run an FLL team. Please consider coaching a team. I can only run teams if I have volunteer coaches. Coaching a FIRST LEGO League team is a rewarding experience! As an FLL coach, you can empower students with a sense of accomplishment that comes from knowing they have complete ownership of the solution they create. Team members are responsible for all research, documentation, programming, and building. The coach acts as a facilitator to guide the children and help build a robot, research, and core values. Knowledge about robotics or programming is not required to be a coach. Who: Students ages 9-14 (4th-9th grade) December: Regional tournament is on a Saturday and is held at Hermantown. Teams that perform well advance to sectional, state, and world competitions. We have had Hermantown teams perform at the state level for the past 4 years. If you have questions contact me.
