This year the tournament is scheduled to be on November 21^st, the Saturday before Thanksgiving.

The tournament is for teams from our local elementary & middle schools, and is part of the FIRST LEGO League (FLL).

 

The judges will critique the teams during the scheduled 15 minute judging time slots. Judging results will be used as the basis for several award categories and the overall "Champions Award."  You can find additional information about judging at the PlayingAtlearning web site (see below). 

 

Some of the details for the judge volunteers are:

Judging categories:

·         Robot Design/Innovation and Programming

·         Teamwork/FLL Values

·         Project Presentation

 

Time commitments:

·         2 hour Judges training (Location and time will be sent in a separate email.  Self-paced training materials are also available for those that can not attend a training session.)

·         11/21/09 – Los Altos Tournament 12:00-5:00pm

 

No special knowledge besides interest in working with kids is required.

If judging positions are still available, I will send the Judges’ Handbook, Conflict Disclosure statement and background rules for this year’s Smart Move Mission. Please review  the documents prior to the Judges Training session provided by Nor Cal.  At a minimum there is a 1-hour web based training for your review.
