Yes, Patty. We typically have a launch
day event and this year it will be bigger
than ever! As homeschoolers we are free to
make a day of it. So here's what we have
planned:
9:30-11:45: All
three FLL teams will build their table
elements and setup their tables. Any
remaining time will allotted to becoming
familiar with the mat and pieces. Of course,
we'll be using our enhanced assembly
instructions and table elements guides found
on our
resources page.
11:45-12:00: We
will gather together in the main room with
the projector running and logged into the US
FIRST FLL Website. We'll have some general
discussion as wait for the release of the
challenge.
12:00-12:15: When
the documents are released we will
cheer and holler, then read the basic
challenge from the screen then send them
outside for lunch.
12:15-1:00:
While the teams are eating lunch we will
print out sets of the challenge documents
for each team.
1:00-3:00: Teams
will individually begin their strategic
discussions about the table challenge and
the project.
3:00-4:00: Group
discussion with all teams to share ideas and
thoughts about the challenge. Final season
overview for all teams.
And as they say,
"That's all folks..."
