What if you could build a better world? Where would you begin?
More than ever, we must come together to innovate and solve problems. In FIRST, you are apart of a thriving community brimming with inspiration, creativity, and hope for a stronger, more sustainable future—one that’s built better together. You have the power to help the cities, towns, and places you call home reach new heights. With the support of the FIRST community, this is your opportunity to lead our future forward—and up.
FAQ:
If I leave for holidays, is that a problem?
No, but membership isn't paused, this is like a sports team, you come along when you can. We do this because leading up to competition we'll be offering more meeting times and more staff to get everything in order for competition.
2. My child is 1 year too young for FLL , 1 year too old of FLLJr, can they join?
Sadly, no. The rules are clear about age and team sizes.
FLL Year 4 to 8
FLLJr Yr K to 4.
3. Will I need to take any time off school?
It is possible that the competition will be on a week-day during the term. If this is the case, we'll be giving lots of warning and providing notes if needed.
4. Can I (the parent) watch during meetings?
No. We find that students work much better and focus more when their parents aren't in the room. If there are no restrictions, you can help on comp day!
