FLL Meet and Greet: Building Connections, Brick by Brick

Nemesis 2590 recently held a meet and greet event for parents interested in creating First Lego League(FLL) teams within the Robbinsville community. The event started off with the prospective FLL parents arriving at the tech lab, and the kids heading to the hallway, where they could learn more about FLL. First, the kids were shown the FLL team IDK’s Lego robot and how it maneuvered on the field. Members of IDK explained the various sensors on the robot, the attachments, and how the robot was coded. Students were then given a chance to ask questions about their robot and FLL as a whole, which members of Nemesis 2590 and IDK answered. Throughout this process, the students developed a passion for FLL, and were excited to get started on a team.

Meanwhile, the parents were shown a presentation which detailed how FLL works, and the commitment it takes for parents to be part of an FLL team. Interest was higher than ever for FLL after the presentation. After the presentation, parents had the opportunity to network and form teams. Coaches were decided for each team, and they took the final steps in settinmg up teams. 

Overall, the FLL meet and greet was a successful event with new teams forming and kids expressing interest in First. The event was a great way for children to have fun while learning, and for parents to learn more about the FLL program, and how to get involved. Nemesis plans on helping these teams through their journey, and hopes they have lots of success, fun, and gain knowledge of STEM. Nemesis plans to continue hosting these types of events and additional workshops to promote STEM education, and inspire young people to pursue careers in these fields.
