About the Meet
This is our 4th year and we will again be hosting a local District Meet. The event was a success last year with an estimate of 350+ in attendance. This year we will have 31 teams with close to 170 kids. The Jr. League has been exploring the Junior FIRST LEGO League ThinkTank Redefining Learning topic, looking at places and tools of learning. The Sr. League is building robots to compete in their choice of eight different robotic track meet challenges. Winning teams have the chance to compete in the State Robotic track meet on May 2nd in South Portland!
