On Saturday, October 26 we held the FLL Jr. Expo (Grades K-3) at North Creek Elementary School. Ian Carter was our MC for the event. Six members of the FRC team volunteered to judge the FLL Jr. teams

Lane, Nick, Robbie, Trevor, Jake, and Cade ready to go judge.

There were 4 teams (Boom Builders, Generation Builders, Star Wars Build It Up, and The Fantastic North Creek Builders) and their goal was to “create a building that solves a problem and makes life easier, happier, or more connected for the people that use it”.

After the FLL Jr. Expo we hosted the Beach Bot Break-In, a scrimmage for the FTC teams at the Chelsea Robotics Center (CRC). We invited two Dexter FTC teams (The Dreadbolts and [removed]) to compete. To help referee and judge, we had FAMNM (FIRST Alumni and Mentors Network at Michigan) students from the University of Michigan come help. Anson Eberle was our MC at this event after being a judge for the FLL Jr. Expo. A lot of people came to the event.

We are thankful for the Chelsea School District’s support of our FIRST teams and for allowing us to use their schools.
