Session Descriptions

How to Prepare for the Project Room: ILSB 201
This can be the most important part of your team’s work. The project research and presentation will bring together all the elements of the annual challenge. The presentation provides an opportunity to express the results in wildly creative ways. Since it is required to compete, you might as well get all the facts.  This session will give coaches a chance to have a discussion with veteran coaches on how they prepared their teams for the tournament.

What to Expect in Judging Room: ILSB 230
The Maryland FLL Judge Advisors will go over what teams should expect in judging rooms. Topics will include a rough schedule of our qualifiers, what to bring to judging sessions, what happens in each judging session, how awards are selected, and how teams are chosen for advancement to the state championship. Please bring your questions about these and any other topics related to judging and qualifiers.

Rookie Team 101 Room: ILSB 233
Everything you need to know as a new mentor!  We’ll take you through best practices on organizing a team, structuring the season, preparing for the competition and day of the competition.  You will have an opportunity to ask questions about running a team. scheduling, how much you and your other mentors should be involved, getting ready for a tournament and more. Come with questions!

Open Q&A Sessions Rooms: ILSB 116 (Robot Game) & ISLB 237 (Judging)
In ILSB 116 we will have an Open Q&A for the Robot Game, and in ILSB 237 we will have an open Q&A for any specific Judging questions. You can stop in and ask any questions you want during this time.
