Are you ages 9-14 (as of January 1st) and interested in
joining a robotics team in the Raleigh area? Fantastic Bots and Where
to Find Them may be for you! An informational meeting is taking place
August 21st, 2021 at 1pm. Contact Jen Rutan for more information.
*Fantastic Bots and Where to Find Them is looking for two
co-leaders to support the robotics team. Contact
Jen Rutan
if you are interested!*
Where: In-person meetings take place in northern Wake County,
outdoors on a screen porch. Make sure to dress for the weather!
When: Fantastic Bots and Where to Find Them meets virtually on
Wednesdays from 7-8 pm and in-person on Saturday from 1-3pm. All
meetings are required, and there are independent assignments to
complete each week.
Fantastic Bots competes in the FIRST
Lego League. Regular meetings begin in September, with the
qualifier tournament taking place in November or December, with State
Championships in January. In the off-season, team members are required
to participate in one team outreach event.
What you need to know: No skills are necessary, but team
members are expected to respect each other, attend all meetings
(barring illness), and complete their weekly assigned tasks on time.
As a prerequisite for joining the team, each girl will be asked to
brainstorm a problem related to the 2021
FLL Challenge, devise a solution, and submit a few sentences,
drawings, or a video describing their ideas. Additionally, one adult
from each family needs to register as a Girl Scout volunteer, complete
the background check process, and volunteer at two Saturday meetings
or a tournament.
