FIRST LEGO League
If you are looking for a rewarding and fun way to inspire the next generation of innovators and problem-solvers, you should consider coaching a FIRST LEGO League Discover, Explore or Challenge team. As a coach, you will guide your team through a project-based learning experience that combines LEGO building, coding and research on a real-world topic. You will help your team develop skills such as teamwork, creativity, critical thinking and communication. You will also witness their excitement and joy as they discover new possibilities and solutions. Coaching a FIRST LEGO League team is not only beneficial for the students, but also for you. You will learn new skills, meet new people and make a positive impact in your community. You don't need to be an expert in ST
EM or LEGO to be a coach. All you need is enthusiasm, dedication and a willingness to learn along with your team. Whether you coach a Discover team (ages 4-6), an Explore team (ages 6-10) or a Challenge team (ages 9-16), you will find it a rewarding and fun experience that you will never forget.
