FLL Explore Teams (Grade 2-4)
$900 New members; $ 800 Returning members.
September - December 2024 & February - May 2025
Saturdays morning , 2 hours
Eligibility: This FLL Explore team will have a maximum of 10 members. We recommend that the candidates are Grade 2-4 who are the beginners or wish to keep continuously learning. The club is accepting new members for this team throughout the year.
Mission: Gain experience in robotics, coding, engineering design and 3D modeling through hands-on projects. You will be able to see connections and similarities between different technologies and form an intuitive understanding of logic, math, and science. We provide multiple-topics including:
- Robotics design in LEGO®Education WeDo 2.0 (Age 6+) or LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Prime (Age 8+)
- TinkerCAD 3D design lessons (All ages)
- Micro:Bits Electronic Control lessons (All ages)
- Learn to text program with Python (Age 9+)
LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Prime lesson plans are designed to help students develop the abstract and critical thinking skills. The standards-aligned lessons provide a variety of learning experiences that relate directly back to students’ real-life questions and observations, building their confidence and preparing them for life beyond school.
The intuitive SPIKE™ App lets students develop coding capabilities with Scratch and Python, regardless of their skill level. In an ever-changing world, coding with LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Prime sets students up for success beyond school, preparing them for the future of work.

FLL Challenge Program (Grade 4-8) Session#1
$820 for session #1
September 2024 - December 2024
On 2 of below time slots:
Monday, Wednesday, Friday evenings, Saturday afternoon.
Eligibility: This competitive team will have a maximum of 8 members. We recommend that the candidates are in Grade 4-8 according to FLL qualification policy and have basic experience with LEGO®Spike Prime or coding skills.
Mission: Attend First Lego League Tournament as a team, practice presentation and leadership. FLL Tournament includes Robotic Game, Innovative Project Presentation, and Core Value Presentation. We coach the robotic design and train the skills of presentation. You will be part of the robotic game to reach the score as high as you can and present the team ideas in front of the judges at the event. Your leadership to collaborate with the team for maximizing the opportunity to win is very important.
Shine Your Ideas 
TED-Ed Student Talks Program is a platform that helps students develop presentation literacy skills while provides space for students to explore, think critically and discuss ideas. The team will work on FLL innovation project which is an interactive presentation event for discovering, developing and sharing their ideas in the form of TED-style talks.

Learn to Program
Python is a popular programming language used in the real world. Learning to use Python greatly increases efficiency and accuracy of robots compared to block coding. The club uses Python to control the robots and achieve the tasks in the FLL robotics competition.

Additional fee when team advance beyond Qualifier Tournament. The fee is to cover additional class and materials, youth mentor travel, and event registration for provincial or international tournaments.
FLL Challenge Program (Grade 4-8) Session#2
$580 for session #2, $100 discount when register both sessions
February 2025- May 2025
On 1 of below time slots:
Monday, Wednesday, Friday evenings, Saturday afternoon.
Eligibility: This competitive team will have a maximum of 8 members. We recommend that the candidates are in Grade 4-8 according to FLL qualification policy and have basic experience with LEGO®Spike Prime or coding skills.
Mission: The season will be used to polish your engineering skills and improve the team bounding and performance in the next season, including Electronic Control and App Integration. We provide lessons for Arduino electronic control design and its application in IoT projects. We will train tools needed for better solving the problems including: MIT App Inventor, 3D design software. You will continue developing in Coding, Building, and problem solving skills to develop the STEM superstar for tomorrow. If the team advanced to events beyond Qualifier, portion of the season will be used to work toward the event.

FLL Competition - Transition (Age 9+ )
$1050
September - December 2024 & February - May 2025
Saturdays morning , 2.5 hours
Eligibility: The transition team will have a maximum of 8 members. We recommend that the candidates are in Grade 4-8 according to FLL qualification policy. No previous skill or knowledge is required.
Mission: Prepare you to participate in the First Lego League(FLL) Tournament as a team. We will use LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Prime as the robot platform, to build and program our robot to complete various challenging missions. FLL is much more than robotics, we will also learn how to work together, how to research, and how to make an impact with innovative solutions. In the end, we will present our results to a mock judging panel and also test out the robot game results.
