FIRST Lego League Build @ UMBC
2022-10-15 10:00 - 13:00 | The Commons : Main Street, 1000 Hilltop Cir Commons 336, Baltimore, Maryland, 21250, United States
Remember how much fun you had building with Legos as a kid? Wouldn’t you love an excuse to build some cool models and help out thousands of kids at the same time? If so, we have the activity for you! UMBC is building kits for the First Lego League Robotics Competition. We have hundreds of really cool models we need to build so that teams of kids in grades 4-8 throughout the state can compete in this year’s themed challenge, Super-Charged. We have things like lego dinosaurs, hybrid cars, wind turbines and factories to build, and only a short time to build them! Stop in anytime! Most models take around 30-45 minutes to build, and you can build as many as you like. Due to the complexity of some of the models, we welcome adults and children ages 8 and up.

Coaches Kickoff
2022-10-01 08:30 - 13:00 | ITE Building – UMBC, 1000 Hilltop Circle ITE Builidng, Baltimore, Maryland, 21250, United States
The event will start at 8:30am and go until around 1pm. We will have details on the season’s qualifying events, updates on judging, and a ton of great content to help both new and returning coaches.

Our very first session is specifically for new coaches, and I would encourage anyone who is new to FLL to attend. We also have general sessions around this year’s challenge, advancement and a lot more. You can find a PDF of the agenda, with descriptions of the breakout rooms, and a parking map linked here.

Our breakout sessions do require registration (its all free) just so we can make sure we don’t overfill the rooms.

Please Note: The content is geared toward supporting coaches and mentors to effectively assist their team as needed throughout the season.
