Greetings FIRST LEGO League Jr Oregon,

In this post you will find:

  1. OMSI Information Session TOMORROW!
  2. OMSI WeDo Information Night - Rescheduled for October 25
  3. Site License Grant Opportunity

1)  OMSI Information Session TOMORROW!
Interested in learning more about FIRST LEGO League Jr? We hope you will join us for a FIRST LEGO League Jr Information session from 6-8pm at OMSI. This is the class that was postponed last week. The session will cover the FIRST LEGO League Jr season, the Creature Craze theme, the new FIRST LEGO League Jr materials, working with schools, and more!  This is an adults information session. Kids will not have much to do while the class is happening.

2)  OMSI WeDo Information Night - Rescheduled for October 25
Is your team curious about the WeDo 2.0 system? Come learn about this LEGO program and how it can add new elements to your FIRST LEGO League Jr experience. Schools and FIRST LEGO League Jr coaches are encouraged to attend. This event will run from 6-8pm at OMSI and will provide an opportunity for adults to get their hands on a WeDo 2.0 system to see what it would be like to use with their team.

3)  Site License Grant Opportunity
FIRST LEGO League Jr and LEGO Foundation are offering site license grants to organizations who would like to run site licenses for the next 3 years. The grant includes the site license for up to 144 students (max of 72 at a time) for the Creature Craze season, funding for WeDo2.0 and tablets. Your organization agrees to run the program for the 144 students and pay the site license in years 2 and 3. To apply please go to: http://info.firstinspires.org/educationgrant

Information Night Postponed until October 18

Due to instructor illness, we are postponing tonight's FIRST LEGO League Jr Information Night for one week. The FIRST LEGO League Junior Information Night will now be held on October 18th from 6-8pm at OMSI in Classroom 1. The WeDo information class is being rescheduled with OMSI. 

Please help us spread the word so those who are planning to attend, but did not get the opportunity to sign up are aware of this change.

Thank  you,
Loridee
