Signups for 2024 Live on JANUARY 1
Thank you so much to all those who supported the program throughout the season - the coaches, volunteers, and those who helped out with misc. tasks. We wouldn't be able to have this program without you! Make sure to give your student's Coach(es) a big thank you as well for all their dedication to their team.
Make sure to look out for a Feedback Form that will be sent out shortly after the event. Please complete this after your student's season is complete.
We will be hosting a Parent Night from 5:30 - 7:30 for our FLL Explore teams in the Innovation Center -for our FLL Explore teams - Little Joes, and FLL Challenge teams - Super Joes! This will be an open house style event where students can show off to their parents what they did this season, and give our Super Joes a chance to practice some matches.
All teams will have a "Judging Session" where they practice talking in front of people about what they did this season.
We will have a popcorn machine, cotton candy machine, and Joe Bots showing off their robots!
We are looking for parents interested in helping coordinate these efforts. Please email Morgan at mbrunsting@sjschools.org if you are able to help support!
Each team will have a practice Judging session to share what they've accomplished this season with their family! This will also serve as a practice session for Saturday.
Little Joes - Coaches will ask the team provided questions, and the team will practice answering questions. Families are welcome to watch and ask questions too! This will help them prepare for their reviewing session at the competition.
Super Joes - We will have members of our local FIRST community who will be practice Judges. Families are welcome to sit in, ask questions, and give feedback as well! This will help the students prepare for Saturday, as this presentation is ~half of the points they receive that may qualify them for the State Championship!
