The LEGOs are here

We got a delivery yesterday in the mail.  A nice long box about 4 feet wide, the perfect size for an FLL competition mat!

Accompanying the mat was lots of LEGOs and no directions.  The directions will be posted online on August 1st.  We can't wait to give the kids an opportunity to build the challenges.  We have a lot of work ahead of us starting with sorting the LEGOs.  

We will meet Friday, August 9th (time: TBD, but likely the afternoon) for an optional build-only workshop.  No roboting will take place at this meeting.  We will have a series of computers set up so the kids can build all of the challenges.  An official email will go out once a time is determined.

Ready, Set, LEGO!

Dine Out to Support STEManiacs

Our very first fundraiser has been scheduled for Monday, July 22nd, 5-9 pm at Straw Hat Pizza on Foothill Blvd.  Between the hours of 5-9 pm Straw Hat will donate 33 1/3% of all proceeds to STEManiacs.  You must bring in the attached flyer though for the funds to be assigned to our organization.  Please forward this to all family and friends.  It will be great to meet for dinner and spend some time socially as a team.

Last Summer Workshop

Our last summer workshop will be Tuesday, July 16th, 9-12 pm.  All interested in FLL are invited to attend including those who are not committed to teams.  You must RSVP via email so we can prepare the appropriate materials and supplies.  If you have an extra NXT robot (just the brain) please bring it so we can have more groups.

All parents are welcome to stay and help and learn more about our team and the FLL process.

SNACKS: We need one parent to bring juice, and one parent to bring some fruit.

95% FULL!

Our Sunday team is full AND paid for.  Great job, Sunday Team!  We will be sending a complete roster out soon via email so you can coordinate with your other team members.

Monday team has only one slot left and three spots are unpaid.  We are definitely a go for both team and will be getting EV3 Robots for both the Sunday and Monday teams (ship date is August 1).

Contact Leslie Dickson if you have any questions about our team or need to contact me regarding payment.  We have a great group of parents and kids for this exciting season!

Filling Up Fast!

We are almost maxed out on the number of students we can accept.  Your spot is only secure if you pay the team fees.  Please contact Leslie Dickson if you are unsure as to the status of your payment.  Beginning next week we will be opening the team up to the wait list.

Thanks for all the support parents!  Its because of you that our team is in such high demand.
