Volunteering with FLL Jr.
We had a grand time this morning volunteering at a FIRST LEGO League Junior Exposition put on by FLL team #2430, LOL (Lots Of LEGOs). They're an awesome team we've gotten to know over the years, and they put on a great event. This was our first time at an FLL Junior expo and it was really fun!
The kids were ages 5 - 9 years old with most being 6 or 7. They had such enthusiasm and passion for what they learned! They had so much to say, and even more to show the judges. Their cleverly designed LEGO models were most impressive.
