LEGO robotics team seeking sixth-grade girls

Newly formed, FIRST LEGO League Robotics team for girls in Dunwoody / Sandy Springs is looking for additional members. Contact us by Oct. 7

A newly formed FIRST LEGO League Robotics team in Dunwoody / Sandy Springs is looking for three or four sixth-grade girls to join the team. Together, this team of girls will learn teamwork, programming, and problem solving.

Prior LEGO experience is appreciated, but not required. The team will meet once a week, on Saturdays or Sundays (depending on team members’ schedules), through November. If the team does well in its fall competition, the season could stretch into early 2015.

This particular team is sponsored by the Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta, so team members must either be active in Girl Scouts or be willing to join Girl Scouts. (They need not join or participate in a troop, but must pay a membership fee.) Total cost for Girl Scout membership, team fees and team T-shirt will be around $90.

For more information about the team, e-mail Ann, the team leader, at District13Robotics-at-gmail-dot-com (e-mail deconstructed to prevent spam; you put it back together). Our roster needs to be finalized shortly, so if you think your daughter may be interested, contact us by October 7.
