I just started working at a Wyoming school where no such program has ever existed and am trying to start one up. Who should I contact with questions or for more information about FLL?

Hi Gabe,

Feel free to give me a call at the number listed on the upper right of the blog, or send me your email in a comment post (I won't publish that one). I will help you in whatever way I can to help you get things started in your school.

I'm hoping to start the club off in the next couple of weeks for our 7th and 8th graders. Thankfully I seem to have the full support of the district's technology and science administrators and obtaining the NXT units won't be a problem. I've never been to one of these competitions however so what little I know I've picked up from online research. It'd be great to bounce a few questions off you over email. To start off: I'm curious if I should start my students off with the NXT programming software that comes with the Mindstorms kits or if I should start them on RoboLab.

Cool story you got here. It would be great to read more about this topic. The only thing I would like to see on that blog is a few photos of some gadgets.

Love your webpage! "Biomedical Engeneering" Where do I sign up? I teach Human Anatomy and Physiology and your website has caught my attention. What a fantastic program. I was waiting for a reply from my last reply regarding my computer drama and saw your link and thought I'd check it out. I'm glad I did - I'll be tracking your team. Thank you Greene :)
