Volunteers Needed |
|
We need volunteers to help with the November
18 regional Lego League robotics
competition. We will be hosting
approximately 16 teams of 8-10 students
(ages 9-14) at Sweet Briar College at this
robotics competition.
This is an exciting and fun event but we
need approximately 30 volunteers (training
provided) to support it. Volunteers fall
into one of three categories:
- 12-15 Judges for the Projects
- 6 Referees for the Robot competition
- General logistics (registration,
scheduling, announcers, etc.)
There is a Lego team at Dearington
Elementary School that needs some adult
mentors to help them. All the kids there are
first timers. The team meets on Tuesdays
from 3:00 – 5:00 PM. This could be a
rotating group of folks if someone can’t
come every week. There are five other
schools in the area with teams that would
welcome any help as well.
Lastly, we are always looking for industry
folks willing to go into schools to talk
about science and technology topics. We have
several canned presentations but also
develop new ones based on the requests from
teachers.
If you can help, please contact the Tech
Council office or Bob Bailey at CVCC. Bob
can be reached at 832-7764, baileyr@cvcc.vccs.edu.
