Merry Christmas Conyngham!

The code crackers had a blast representing FLL in the town's Christmas parade.


Thank you for letting us join in and sharing in the fun.

Are We Dreaming?


We recently won a lifetime opportunity to represent our area (and country) at at the First Lego League International Open Championship in Bath, England!

We are very excited to receive this chance of a lifetime opportunity and anticipate our trip will cost about $15,000, which includes our team's tournament registration, airfare and ground transportation, hotel lodging, meals, event insurance, and additional competition expenses.

We are super excited to now be representing our area and competing on an international level!  Can you please help us make our dream trip a reality?  Our local team is so honored to be representing such a great community and country.

 The FLL Open Championship event aims to:
Inspire young people and the general public to engage with STEM subjects and activities.
Encourage international collaboration and networking.
Promote awareness of engineering and encourage more young people to consider careers in STEM.
Provide teams from around the world with the opportunity to have fun, engage in a challenging competition and develop a range of key life skills

Your Donation Means the World to Us:
We are trying to bring STEM activities to our area. Your donation to our club would help us offer other events for the community. We would love to offer robotic and engineering workshops for other children. As the program and interest grows in the area, we want to help offer this opportunity to every child that wants to learn how to program! We are a very small community group. Without your help we will not be able to participate in the championship or continue to build this program in our area. We recently created two robotics groups out the Hazleton Area because the interest in FLL is growing. Next year we hope to start incorporating more students who are ready to learn and participate in robotics.

Thank you for your support in robotics and for us kids, who dream big,
The Conyngham Code Crackers: Jacob, Noah, Nick, Sammy, Ethan, Billy, and Sophie

Getting Closer!

http://nmfll.org/…/STOW-or-GO_Updated_Building_Instructions…

At last night's meeting, we discussed all the amazing things you witnessed at the tune up event! Great job kids. I am linking to a PDF, to creating a foam travel board. What a great idea!
Our goals the next few weeks will be to memorize our scripts! Work on a brand new run (milk, dog trainer, seal)... and possible food mission.

 We will also practice robot design and programming answers.

Christmas Parade is on the 10th! 🤖
