Detailed Coach Training

Programming Workshop

Worried that you don't know anything about programming and have a gaggle of kids to teach? Well, put your mind at ease! Come spend a day with Skye Sweeney for a hands on training session. We will go over basic and intermediate operation of an NXT using the NXT-G language. This class will be tailored to coaches of FLL teams. We will learn basic navigation and object manipulation as well as some simple but effective uses of sensors. At the end you should be comfortable to help your team learn and have a productive and fun season.

Date/Time: TBD
