The Westfield High School FIRST Robotics Competition team started, supports, and mentors six FIRST LEGO League (FLL) Explore teams for Westfield-Washington Township 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 to 36 students, so unfortunately we may not be able to take all students who apply. Applications close November 22 and parents will be notified of team placement by November 25.
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 at the Dellara IndyCar Factory on January 11.
