Events
Junior FIRST LEGO®League (Jr.FLL) events provide an opportunity for Jr.FLL teams to showcase their work and meet other kids who share their interest in science and technology. A Jr.FLL event can be as simple as a meeting of your team, team families, and friends to share what they learned or, depending on your resources, it may include 30 or more teams sharing in a public venue.
Each Jr.FLL event recognizes the contributions of each participant and each team, and provides a venue for positive sharing, learning, laughing, and celebrating a task well done!
As you begin your planning process, remember:
- Jr.FLL is a noncompetitive, community-based program.
- Teams rely on their local community to organize events so they can proudly share
what they have accomplished with others. - Communities hosting events are responsible for fundraising, the venue,
participation and other awards, and recruiting volunteers and reviewers. - Interested individuals, teams, and organizations can arrange local Jr.FLL events.
- Neither FIRST nor the Jr.FLL program organize or host any Jr.FLL events.
- The Event Guide is provided to help you host your own event.
Jr.FLL Events allow teams to celebrate and showcase their accomplishments. They offer the opportunity to share projects with other teams and to learn from each other. There are very few mandatory requirements for your event. This is your event, so do what you can with the resources your community has available, while following the guidelines in the Event Guide.
Any number of teams can participate in your event; again, it’s your event, so you determine the capacity you can accommodate. When determining capacity, remember, Jr.FLL teams are comprised of a coach and up to 6 children. Each child will likely be accompanied by family members and you will want to check with your site host to determine the site capacity, requirements, and what is included with the venue.
