Learn robotics. Join a team!
Hey, Girl Scout. Do you want to build a robot?!
FIRST LEGO League
FIRST LEGO League is an exciting global robotics program that ignites an enthusiasm for discovery, science, and technology. GSNNJ sponsors several competition teams that meet regularly at our Riverdale Service Center. Each year FLL teams embark on an adventurous challenge based on real world problems. Guided by team coaches and mentors, the teams research and solve a real-world problem based on a challenge theme, present their research, solution, and build an autonomous robot using engineering concepts.
Each team currently meets at the Riverdale Service Center every Sunday from September through November. Meetings are from 3:00-7:00 p.m. Adult supervision is provided (girls can be dropped off at the Service Center for this program). Fee includes robotic equipment, team shirt, pizza dinner weekly, FLL fees and coaches. Girl Scouts will earn the Cadette Robotics Badge (steps 1, 2 & 3).
