Riker Hill Robotics
FLL Explore is designed to introduce STEM concepts to kids through fun, exciting hands-on learning. Kids will learn the fundamentals of engineering as they explore real-world problems, learn to design, code, and create unique solutions made with LEGO bricks and powered by LEGO® Education WeDo 2.0 & LEGO SPIKE Essentials. Students learn science concepts, apply them in a Lego model, describe it in a poster and demonstrate the model at an annual Expo. For more information, visit First Lego League.
(Open to Grades 2-4)
Classes start Mid October 2024

What is the challenge this year? Each year, FLL announces a different challenge (theme) for the competition. This year's challenge is the SUBMERGEDâ„ challenge. FIRST® LEGO® League teams will use creative thinking and LEGO® technology to explore the layers of the ocean and bring their learnings and ideas to the surface as they “sea” into the future.
What is the commitment? 2nd-4th graders will join a team of 6-8 students that meets weekly on Mondays/Tuesdays or Wednesdays 4:30-5:45pm, October-January at TEKI, @ the Florham Park Sports Dome. The cost is $450 per student, which includes all materials and FLL team registration. A percentage of tuition is donated to the schools PTA/HSA.
How do I register? Interested students can register via TEKI’s Florham Park Sports Dome & Event Center registration site https://www.theteki.com/live-enrichments
Want to get involved? TEKI invites any interested parent to join TEKI’s coaches in guiding your child’s team. If you’d like to volunteer, please contact Howard Weinrib (hweinrib@theteki.com, 917-940-4711).
