Workshop: How to Start an FLL Team

Is your student interested in robotics but you're not sure where to start?  Consider starting a FIRST Lego League (FLL) team! FLL offers students in 3rd through 8th grade opportunities to learn about STEAM, use their creativity to solve problems, and begin exercising important life skills like teamwork, conducting research, project planning and presenting ideas.

Best of all, with guidance from East Cobb Robotics, you don't need to know anything about FLL or robotics to get started...we're here to help!  We are holding two workshops over the summer to teach people how to get their own FLL teams started.

These workshops will be held on  
Sunday, June 26 and 
Saturday, July 23 
at 1:30 PM.  

You can sign up for either (or both) of these sessions using the form below.  Details will follow with location and specifics once you are signed up.

We have many ECR students who are FLL alumni and can attest to how valuable and fun the experience was for them.  We hope you'll join us for one of these two sessions and take the next step in building your student's lifelong love of learning.  Remember...it's more than robots!"

(Please note, this is a workshop for adults only - we have no accommodation for children.)

If you have any questions or need more information, please contact us at FLL@eastcobbrobotics.org.
