2025 Nemesis FLL Meet & Greet

Nemesis 2590 has a very special way of creating interest in STEM throughout its local community. This is the First Lego League (FLL) Pathway. FLL is a branch of FIRST Robotics that consists of teams made up of kids in elementary and middle school who will compete in challenges using EV3 powered Lego robots. Think of it as a mini FRC team. Nemesis created the FLL Pathway to help kids in our local community become interested in the world of robotics and to potentially be part of our team one day. There are four key parts in the FLL Pathway:  FLL Meet & Greet, the FLL Workshop, micro grants, and the Robbinsville Ruckus competition. This past weekend on January 25th, we hosted the FLL Meet & Greet at Robbinsville High School. 

In this event, both interested parents and students attended to gain more information on what FLL is and how they can join. Many of the attendees had participated in Discover Day. Two of our experienced members presented to parents about how First Lego League functions and how their children can join a team. Another option given to parents is that they can create their own team of 2-10 kids and become coaches. It was incredible to see the parents collaborate with each other to see how they could make that work. Meanwhile, the kids were all engaged at the FLL table where members of the Nemesis build team and local FLL team IDK gave them a demonstration of the lego robots used and what type of challenges they would have to complete. This event was very successful in getting parents and students interested in starting their journeys in the world of FIRST. Once again, this year's FLL Meet & Greet proved to be a great start to the Pathway.
