The season is short, and the team needs to be fully prepared and working at a high level from day one.
What the Olympics are for sports, and the Nobel Prize is for science, FIRST Lego Robotics is for kid’s engineering. Join Celsius and Beyond’s award-winning team this Fall to participate in the world’s most prestigious robotics competition for youth.
Using LEGO’s platform, software, and rules, You will learn about project management, computer programming, robotics design, analytic thinking, problem-solving, research skills, long-term projects, presentation skills, open-ended tasks, and, best of all, working as a team.
Fee: $1,750—Includes more than 20 hours of semi-private instruction, group instruction, approximately 15 hour of additional hours before competition, instructor time at the competition, competition material, registration for the program and the competition.
A team effort worthy of an award requires many hours. Each student is expected to participate in at least 80% of the weekly and pre-competition meetings.
FIRST LEGO League is built on active parent participation, and it’s essential that families are fully involved. This is not a drop-off program. Parents play a key role in supporting their child’s success by helping with research, guiding presentation rehearsals, contributing to marketing, and yes, schlepping your child to and from the many meetings.
Our admired instructors, Jae and Trevor, will lead the team.
