Hello FIRST LEGO League Coaches,
You are receiving this email because of your role as the coach of a FIRST LEGO League Challenge team from either the last (2020-21) or current (2021-22) season in the New York – Finger Lakes region.
We are writing to provide an update on our search efforts to identify a new FLL Program Delivery Organization (PDO) following the retirement of our former FLL partner this summer, the University of Rochester. At this time, we are still looking to identify a new partner organization. These search efforts can take time especially to create awareness and build new relationships. The goal of FIRST is to have a new partner organization in place to begin next season (2022-2023).
What does this mean for teams and the CARGO CONNECT season?
We do have good news to report! Working with some of your local tournament organizers and volunteers from previous seasons, FIRST is planning to offer remote events for this season. Teams can expect a set of remote qualifiers between Nov. 13 and Dec. 11 with the remote Championship on December 18. More details to come.
Who should teams contact with questions?
