Two Brevard County Public School teachers will be on site running the camp program. Each team will be assigned an older student to guide and assist their team in building and programming LEGO robots to accomplish specific tasks.
All students are expected to demonstrate gracious professionalism* during the camp.
Adult Training Workshops will be held on Saturdays June 5 and June 19 at Gardendale Elementary School, Merritt Island from 9am to 3:30pm. These workshops are designed for beginning FIRST LEGO League coaches and mentors who will learn the basics of constructing and programming a LEGO NXT robot as well as what to expect as an FLL coach. Cost is $25 per person and will include lunch.
*Gracious professionals make a valued contribution in a manner pleasing to others and to themselves. In FIRST, one of the most straightforward interpretations of gracious professionalism is that we learn and compete like crazy, but treat one another with respect and kindness in the process. We try to avoid leaving anyone feeling like they are losers.
**There will be no camp on Friday due to the 4 day work week instituted by Brevard Public Schools.
