SSD3301 FLL Finals Boomtown Build Certificate-v6_PrintReady.pdffilming-photography-audio-consent-form (8).docxFLL Jr BoomtownBuild Engineering Notebook-v3-HR.pdfHello to all our superhero teachers!!
Great news – Your FIRST LEGO League Jr. Kit will be despatched in the next few days so you should receive them at the end of next week!
To get started, why not check out our Team Resources page on the website. Here you will find all the digital content you will need for this season including the BOOMTOWN BUILD Challenge document and Build Instructions (which can also be found inside your Inspire Set). It may be a good time to bookmark this page if you haven’t done so already for easy reference going forward!
I’ve attached a digital copy of the Engineering Notebook so you can print out extra copies if you want to run the programme with additional children. I’ve also attached a BOOMTOWN BUILD participation Certificate which can also be printed out and given to each child that participates in the challenge!
Each BOOMTOWN BUILD Inspire set will consist of the following:
1 x Inspire Set (box of LEGO based around the annual theme)
6 x Engineering Notebooks (one for each child to record their ideas) Virtual copies will be available if more than 6 children will be taking part
1 x Team Meeting Guide (consisting of 12 session plans to help the coach deliver the challenge)
6 x LEGO Medals (one for each child, to be given out once the challenge has been completed)
We will also provide you with a LEGO® Education WeDo 2.0 to complete the challenge – you’ll just need a suitable tablet in order to download the free software to program your WeDo 2.0. For any queries related to your LEGO WeDo, or help with programming, please visit the Raising Robots website!
Finally, as you may have already noticed, we are unable to run any physical Expos due to Covid-19. However, we’re exploring the possibility of online engagement with the schools, either through videos on our social media, live streamed events or video conferencing and will of course keep you posted. In the meantime, get in touch! Send a message to @FLLUK, or post on the FIRST LEGO League UK and Ireland’s Facebook page and we’ll do our best to send traffic your way.
We hope you enjoy taking part in this seasons challenge and can’t wait to see all your amazing builds!
Thanks once again for all your help in this crazy time!
Best wishes,
Demi Cornell
FIRST® LEGO® League Jr. Coordinator
N.B. You will notice that your delivery also includes several LEGO Medals – if you need any extra medals please email firstlegoleaguejr@theiet.org
STEM Competition from Primary/Secondary Engineers!
STEM Competition from Primary/Secondary Engineers!
There is nothing like a little boredom to fuel creative invention!
With that in mind, we would like to present our ‘If you were an engineer, what would you do’ Home Learning Project. Completely free for all children and young people aged 3-19.
We are providing more online interviews with engineers, who will share their work experiences and answer your questions; along with some activities to help get you ‘thinking like an engineer’.
So, how do you get involved?
Firstly, you will need to register, this can be done by clicking the link (on the left)
Once registered, you will be given access to our online resources, guides and information on the upcoming engineer interviews via our resources area.
Please feel free to share this email with other families! We want everyone to have the opportunity to delve into the fun world of engineering and put their creativity to the test.
This project has been created both for parents/carers/guardians to deliver at home to children and young people in their household; and also, for teachers to deliver to key worker pupils in class or pupils at home. Teachers who are already registered for the Leaders Award competition, please share this with parents/carers/guardians to aid them with home learning.
The deadline for this project is 10th September 2020.
If you do have any queries at all or require more information, please visit our website, sign up to our newsletter, or contact us directly at info@leadersaward.com.
