In this program, students are working with and commit to a team.  As such, we expect students to attend every session.  We understand that illness and other issues may arise, but we hope that every family that signs up commits to the program as much as possible.

Yes, students will be working in teams of 5-6 students for the duration of the season.

The program is run through a collaboration between public libraries and the Tolland County Robotics Foundation.  Foundation mentors and the children's librarian(s) collaborate to run the program.  All foundation mentors go through a background check before beginning the program.

At the end of the season, students will attend a festival with other teams in the area.  This will give them the opportunity to be recognized for their efforts throughout the season and to see other teams across the state, connecting them to the larger FIRST community.

After students become too old for FIRST Lego League Explore, they can participate in FIRST Lego League Challenge.  Please visit that page of our site for more information.
