The Westfield High School FIRST Robotics Competition team started, supports, and mentors six FIRST LEGO League (FLL) Explore teams for Westfield-Washington Schools Elementary School students in grades 2-4.
The teams will be mentored by the high school students on the Westfield High School FRC Team, SHAM-ROCK-BOTICS, along with the professionals that volunteer with the high school robotics team.
Any WWS Elementary school student in grades 2-4 can apply to join a SHAM-ROCK-BOTICS FLL Explore team. Capacity is limited, so unfortunately we may not be able to take all students who apply.
We will be running 2 sessions this year! Fall (Aug 25-Sept 18) and Winter (Nov 24-Dec 18). Applictions for the fall session are due August 15. Applications for the winter session will stay open longer.
Anyone can start an FLL team! If you'd like to start your own team instead of particitipating in a SHAM-ROCK-BOTICS FLL Explore team, you can find out more on the FIRST website and reach out to SHAM-ROCK-BOTICS for guidance.
It's never too early to discover STEM. FIRST LEGO League Explore is designed to introduce STEM concepts to kids ages 6 to 10 while exciting them through a brand they know and love - LEGO®. This program inspires young people to experiment and grow their confidence, critical thinking, and design skills through hands-on learning. Find out more on the FIRST website!
FLL Explore will meet for six meetings and an end-of-season festival. All meetings and the festival take place at Westfield High School from 6pm to 7:30pm.
