Challenge Release Workshops
Challenge Release Workshops (CRW) are intended to help new teams get off to a good start for the Challenge. These workshops will cover the game, the project, team organization, core values, and strategies for new teams. 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 Rockwell Collins New FLL Team Grants are required to attend either a coach and/or teacher training workshop or a challenge release workshop.
The following schedule is tentative. Confirmed schedules will be announced to all registered teams and to the LARFLL Google Group in mid August.
