Registration for the 2012 Jr.FLL season is now accepting wait list spots only.

The  LYR Jr. FLL Program is for 2nd and 3rd grade Leominster students and residents.  They will be working in teams of four on this year's challenge theme - Snack Attack.

LYR Jr. FLL Teams  will take a "hands on" approach to the topic of food safety by exploring how proper preparation and storage can help keep us healthy.  Teams will learn about simple machines as they build a model made of LEGO elements with a motorized moving part, and will create a team "Show-Me" Poster to represent their Snack Attack findings. 

It is very important for parents to know, and to convey to their children, that this is more than just a "play with LEGOs" camp before signing them up.  The actual building with LEGOs is only a small part of the whole program.  Involved is some research, some arts & crafts creating the "Show-Me" poster and a whole LOT of teamwork!

We encourage you to form a team of four with your child and his or her friends. We will need one parent for each team willing to stay and help each team at practice. If you cannot make a team of four, we will pair up students, however, each team must have a parent volunteer.  No experience is necessary and LYR staff will be available at all practices to help with the teams.

The eight week program is scheduled to run on Tuesday afternoons from 4:00-5:30 from February 28th-April 24th (not including April vacation week).  For more information:  email us with Jr. FLL in the subject line.   There is a maximum of 40 students that the program can accommodate.  Registration will be on a first-come, first serve basis.

To register your child or a team of four, e-mail us at leominsteryouthrobotics@juno.com with Jr.FLL in the subject line.  We will e-mail you a registration form to mail to us with the $40 registration fee.  Because space is limited, we will need the forms and payment mailed to us by Februrary 14th or we will have to give the spot to someone on the waiting list.
