Just a quick congratulations to the good people of KT Murphy Elementary on completing their first ever Jr FLL Expo at their school!

Now in their second year, KT Murphy boasts 5 Jr FLL teams and 1 FLL team. Go teams!

Stamford Robotics was happy to be there to help out.

Thanks again to the parents and staff of KT Murphy for making this happen for their kids as well as Kiwanis for their financial and other support for KTMurphy and Stillmeadow.

The 4th Annual Stamford Robotics Expo was held in 2011 on February 13th!

31 Jr. FLL teams, 5 FLL teams, over 75 volunteers, as well as some very special guests, made for a fantastic event.  We celebrated our youth and their awesome LEGO creations and science knowledge. A fun time was had by all.

Over 200 young students representing teams from: Stamford Elementary Schools; Stamford community organizations like Boys and Girls Club, YMCA, and CTE; 8 Girl Scout sponsored teams from across Connecticut; a community team; and a team from Wolcott Connecticut were in attendance. Jr. FLL teams (age 6 to 9) explained the LEGO models they created to the event reviewers, talked about their "show me" poster, and told about all the cool things they learned researching this year's "Body Forward" biomedical engineering theme. Meanwhile FLL teams (age 9 to 14) had one more chance to run their FLL robots, competing in head-to-head competition with other FLL teams with the robots they built and programmed themselves.

We're happy to see such a nice story about a local community organization (Stamford YMCA LEAD Academy) as their two Jr. FLL teams prepare for our 4th annual Expo!

Enjoy the Story!

Stamford Robotics once again joined in at the Stone Soup for the 21st Century event.

We presented in the "fairway" demonstrating FIRST LEGO League for 9 to 14 year olds, and Jr. FIRST LEGO League for 6 to 9 year olds. Kids had a chance to run the SMART team state champion robot, and build LEGO models related to this year's theme.

Coach D. and Dawn Winsor from Stamford Robotics also presented one of the many community learning sessions titled "How to build a successful FIRST LEGO League team".

Stamford Robotics were presenters at the recent FIRST University day

Coach "D" (Peter Dowling) presented Advanced NXT-G programming for FLL Coaches with assistance from Rachel Winsor, while Jyotsna "JoJo" and Dawn Winsor presented Starting, funding and running a Jr. FLL team and Body Forward Jr. FLL Game Overview with assistance from Coach "S" (Seema Winsor)

It was great to see a couple of Stamford coaches in attendance. We also enjoyed meeting and presenting to all the motivated FIRST LEGO League and Jr. FIRST LEGO League coaches from around Connecticut.
