Challenge Release Workshops

The Nature's Fury Challenge will be released on August 27, 2013 at 9:00 AM Pacific. Challenge Release Workshops (CRW) are intended to help new teams get off to a good start for the Challenge. These workshops will cover the robot game, the project, team organization, core values, strategies for new teams, and additional resources. A full field setup will be available. Each team will receive a printed color copy of the Challenge documentation. Coaches, mentors, students and parents are welcome to attend.

Note: Coaches of teams that receive 2013 Rockwell Collins New FLL Team Grants are required to attend either a coach and/or teacher training workshop or a challenge release workshop.

Confirmed schedules will be announced to all registered teams via the LAR-FLL-Teams Google Group in mid August. Registration for these events will open at that time.
