Calling friends of FIRST and Playing At Learning:

It is FIRST LEGO League Explore Festival Season and volunteers are needed!

We have 6 (with a possible 7th) NorCal FLL Explore Festivals coming up and all need volunteers!

A couple of wonderful things that are unique about the FIRST LEGO League Explore program:

1. No pre-work / training / certification needed to volunteer. Everything you need to know to do the role will be available when you arrive.

2. Events are half days and many roles are just a few hours.

3. The Festivals are non-competitive which means that every team is celebrated and receives a team award.

4. Volunteers can be 14 year olds and older and can serve in any role – ie no conflict of interest (since there is no competition)

If you are available Saturday, March 18 in Fremont, we particularly need Reviewers. Please sign up if you can or help spread the message.

All events and links to sign up are available at https://www.playingatlearning.org/events/categories/fllexplore/

Dates are: Mar 18, Mar 25, Mar 26, Apr 8, May 6

Thanks! Jill

Hi all,

Blue River Technology is running a FIRST Fun Day on September 24th from 11:30am-1pm at their Santa Clara facility and are looking for an FLL Challenge team to come demo and show off their achievements. The employees at Blue River are super interested in starting their own teams as well as finding opportunities to mentor. We understand that this is quite late notice and that it may be hard to get out of school that day, but it is a great possible sponsorship opportunity as well as a great outreach opportunity. If you are interested, please email me (jaye@playingatlearning.org) or Avanija, our Outreach Volunteer (avanija.komarraju@gmail.com).

Thanks!

Hey everyone, we’re the Cookie Bots, a rookie troop of 5th grade Girl Scouts from Danville.

We’re just getting started and very excited to meet other nearby troops that may be interested in meeting up as the season gets going.

  Hello my son & I just saw the great FLL presentations in Fremont a weekend or two ago!
  
  Are there any teams available to join near San Jose? We’re South San Jose. I have a 10 year old (4th grade).
  
  Thank you!
