OverviewAttending an event is the culmination of a lot of hard work for FLL and Jr.FLL teams. Events are colorful, bursting with energy and excitement, and loaded with enthusiasm. Teams get to interact and share experiences and ideas. Coaches, parents, and kids alike all beam with pride. Everyone is recognized for amazing achievements, and it’s simply a fun experience!
FLL EventsFLL Events are sporting events for the mind. They have distinguished guests, parents, and coaches; intense and playful students; judges reviewing team project presentations and real referees in black and white striped shirts scoring the robot rounds. There are Opening and Closing ceremonies, really cool trophies, and team T-shirts with personalized logos and team colors. There is cheering, hi-fives, and squeals of celebration.
At an event teams… - Decorate their pit area (the team’s “home base†at an event)
- Present their Project to a panel of judges
- Demonstrate Teamwork, FLL Core Values, and Gracious Professionalism
- Perform 2.5 minute robot rounds
- Participate in technical interviews about robot design
Distinguished individuals offer their time as referees and judges. These volunteers witness the teams' talents while assessing the young scholars' facts and conclusions about the Challenge.
