Call for Volunteers for the Southern Colorado FIRST LEGO League (SCFLL)

* * * IEEE Call for Volunteers for the Southern Colorado FIRST LEGO League (SCFLL) * * *

The Southern Colorado FIRST LEGO League (SCFLL) is looking for volunteers to assist in judging the regional competition on Saturday November 9 at the Air Academy High School on the beautiful US Air Force Academy Grounds.

We need over 100 volunteers to staff this event. We take care of the training, food and T-shirt. You provide the enthusiasm and encouragement. You should expect to arrive at Air Academy High School around 7:30AM for registration and training and stay through the wrap-up which is usually around 5:00PM.

You can expect to see Hyped-up 9-14 year-olds, props, costumes, team cheers, 1000+ screaming fans and robots!

These teams of kids are working to build robots to solve mission problems. This years theme is "Natures Fury" and the teams have to learn about natural disasters, identify a problem and propose a solution. They build and program robots to accomplish a set of missions where they score points for each mission goal the robot completes. They present the results of their research and their work to reach out and educate their community.

I would expect that most IEEE volunteers would be assigned to judge the teams, asking questions about the robot designs, how they solved design problems, how they worked together as a team and to explain their research project. The mission of FLL is to inspire young people to be science and technology leaders, by engaging them in exciting mentor-based programs that build science, engineering and technology skills, that inspire innovation, and that foster well-rounded life capabilities including self-confidence, communication, and leadership.

If you can offer us one day then simply please email the volunteer coordinator "Kevin Bush" (kevin@scfll.org). Besides the “fun factor”, you will be helping to support our future scientists and engineers. These are the people who will be responsible for our safety and comfort in the future. Let's make sure they are well-equipped to face the challenge.
