Rhode Island Students of the Future and FIRST LEGO League Rhode Island needs volunteer judges, referees and event staff for our upcoming tournament season!
Judges meet with teams to review their robot design and programming, their research projects and to evaluate their core values. Referees keep score during the robot game matches. FIRST LEGO League teams are groups of 9 - 14 year olds who have spent the past 10-14 weeks building and programming a robot to score points on the FIRST LEGO League game field, and conducting research into a topic related to this year’s theme, "City Shapers." Event staff will be placed in roles for registration & information and Photography & Social Media, etc.
Judge Training is Tuesday, November 19, 6:00-8:00 pm (Judges must be 18 or older)
Referee Training is Tuesday, October 22, 6:30-8:30 pm (Referees are 16 or older)
Event staff are typically 16 or older
All training sessions will be held at the East Providence City Hall Conference Room, 145 Taunton Ave., E. Prov., RI 02914 (If you cannot make the judge training, there are online modules for the judges only)
