- To raise cultural awareness among students
Greetings,
It's time for the 2016 FIRST Lego League (FLL) season to kickoff! Last year our team, #6461 The Robot Engineers, competed successfully and this year we look to propel the team further in the competition. We would like to invite you to our kickoff session to discuss team goals, rules, and expectations for this year.
A meeting will be held on:
Sunday August 28th at Crossridge Martins, 10250 Staples Mill Road from 2:30 pm - 4:30 pm.
The team will meet every Sunday until the competition and possibly one or two Saturday's depending on team progress.
What's new this year?
1. We will operate as a team, meaning the engineering robotic club will begin at a later date.
2. We would like the parents to be more involved, meaning: helping the coaches and mentors keep the students focused and on task.
3. Parent/Guardian must be present for the duration of each weekly meeting.
4. We are sponsored by the Department of Defense STEM (DoDSTEM) who provided the competition kit.
5. There are a limited number of team positions available, therefore, the team will be selected by process of a lottery. Official team members from last year, who participated the entirety of the season, will have the option to return prior to the lottery.
6. Commitment = all team members must be committed and attend each session.
Please email us if you have any questions or concerns.

In an effort to increase minority participation in the engineering profession, Virginia State University partners with the Richmond Area Program for Minorities in Engineering (RAPME). Participants include middle and high school students from the regions coming to VSU to work with teachers and mentors. Over 40 engineers and architects volunteered their time.
