2012 Jr.FLL World Festival Expo

This year's World Festival Expo is going to be an event you won't want to miss!  On April 27th 40 Jr.FLL® teams will converge on the America's Center and Edward Jones Dome to present their Models and Show-me posters about the research they have done for this year's SNACK ATTACK® Challenge.

U.S. and Canada

Junior FIRST® LEGO® League (Jr.FLL®) events provide an opportunity for teams to showcase their work and meet other teams who share a similar interest in science and technology. Events provide a venue for positive sharing, learning, laughing, and celebrating!  An event can be as simple as a meeting of a team, families, and friends to share what was learned. Or, an event may include many teams sharing in a public venue. Larger events offer an opportunity to share and learn from one another.

What is a Jr.FLL Event (U.S. and Canada)…

• Events are non-competitive. There is not a game and children do not compete for specific awards.
• Teams rely on their local community or individuals to organize and host events. These communities and individuals are responsible all aspects of the event.
• A typical event lasts approximately two to four hours.
• Volunteer Reviewers visit with each team, check out the Models, and ask questions. The process is not meant to overwhelm the children. Teams are reminded that the reviewers are looking forward to learning from them!
• In some areas, the FLL® Partner organizes Jr.FLL events in conjunction with a FIRST® LEGO® League tournament.  However community members may still host events in the same state or region.
• Program registration does not guarantee that an event will be available in your area.
• Neither FIRST® nor the Jr.FLL program organize nor host any Jr.FLL events.
• Neither FIRST nor the Jr.FLL program is responsible for screening event volunteers.

Outside U.S. and Canada

Events outside the U.S. and Canada are held by the official Jr.FLL Partner. Information about these events can be found on the country's website.
