Spring 2020 Lead & Learn

LEADER RESOURCES

This sounds like fun, but I don’t have any programming experience or technology experience. What should I do? It’s okay if you don’t have a background in programming or engineering! Girl Scouts offers comprehensive training in August to teach Jr. FLL® and FLL® rookie coaches how to program the robot, but don’t worry—the girls will pick up the programming aspects really quickly! Feel free to recruit colleagues and friends who are interested in technology to help mentor the team. What if my daughter is interested in being on a team, but no one else in the troop is? Extend the invitation to other girls in her school and community! They don’t need to be previously involved in Girl Scouts as long as they become a registered member when they join the team.

How much does it cost? If accepted for funding, Girl Scouts will cover the major expenses (including the robot, software, field kit and T-shirts). The team will be responsible for a portion of the overall cost. The team registration fee is different for each robotics level.
