Hello FIRST LEGO League Challenge Coaches,
You are receiving this email because of your role as the coach of a FIRST LEGO League Challenge team for the current (2021-22) season in the New York – Finger Lakes region.
We are writing to provide an update on the event plans for the CARGO CONNECT season. While FIRST continues its recruitment efforts for a new partner organization, we have been working with some of the past key volunteers and event organizers on a set of events for this season.
Our plan is to offer Qualifiers (Sat Nov 13, Sun Nov 21, Sat Dec 4, and Sat Dec 11) leading to the Championship on Saturday, December 18, which will be the basis for any World Festival invitations.
All events will be remote.
For this season only, there will be no event registration fees for these Qualifiers and Championship. In lieu of an event registration fee, teams can optionally elect to donate to the FIRST Annual Fund.
IMPORTANT - ACTION REQUIRED! Please complete this Event Interest and Registration Survey by Tuesday, October 26. Based on the submissions received at that time, we will make preliminary Qualifier assignments. After October 26, we will assign teams on a first come, first served based.
JOIN US! For a coach call on Thursday, October 28 at 5:30 PM ET at
