Festival Overview
Each event will look different depending on the host site, but teams can expect the following…
- Teams should plan attend the event for approximately 2 to 3 hours (depending on the event format).
- Festivals will have between 6 and 18 teams.
- Teams will display their SUBMERGED Team Model and Team Poster. Table space will vary at each event, but teams can plan for at least 2-4 ft of surface. Team models should be on the SUBMERGED mat included in their FLL Explore Set.
- Reviewers will meet with each team for 10 minutes (5 minutes for the team to present their work and 5 minutes for questions).
- We encourage teams to talk and learn from other teams during the event! When teams aren’t sharing with other teams and reviewers, there will also be activities or demonstrations to participate in!
- At the end of the event, each participant will get to take home their official VA-DC FIRST LEGO League medal and each team will receive at least one award.
How to Prepare your Team
- Have the team create a Team Poster
- Have the team practice presenting their Team Model
- Take a look at the Reviewing Documents **COMING SOON**
- Have your team practice introducing themselves and sharing their work with family/friends at a practice meeting! It will help them feel more comfortable during the review session. You can even try some of the “Reviewer Questions” with them (found in previous bullet point).
