 Introduces science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM)
to children ages 4-16* through fun, exciting hands-on learning.
 Participants gain real-world problem-solving experiences
through a guided, global robotics program, helping today’s
students and teachers build a better future together.

critical thinking, coding, and design skills through hands-on
STEM learning and robotics.

16. Keep in Mind
1- Not all teams are perfect.
2- Your No. 1 team is not supposed to win the Trophy.
3- Make sure you declare any “conflict of interest” in case of any direct
affiliation with any team.
4- FLL is about 4 partitions, good teams in all rooms will be selected for high
ranks (score swings in each room, but the champion does good in all but could
be as “not the best in each”
5- Take notes, photos, fulfill your rubrics and rank sheet
6- Smile, enjoy and Be Friendly 
