The 2026-2027 FIRST LEGO League BIOGLOW™ season is about biodiversity and how technology, creativity, and research can help us better understand and protect natural habitats. There are 3 parts of the season challenge: create an effective team; design, build and program a robot to accomplish the robot game missions; explore the fascinating ecosystems on our planet and discover an innovative solution to a problem that threatens the connections that sustain them. Students in Grades 4 through 8 (ages 9-14) who are interested in being on an FLL team must attend a 2-session FLL PREVIEW CLASS. The Preview Class is an opportunity to try the engineering, programming and research activities before committing to the full season, which runs from August to the regional robotics competition on December 19th. Teams selected for the state competition continue to January 23rd. FLL takes enthusiasm, teamwork, willingness to learn, dedication, focus and persistence in problem-solving, and commitment to team goals. Students can attend Preview Classes at Sunrise Drive School (SDS) or Ventana Vista (VV). Students from Orange Grove and Esperero Canyon can request a bus pass to SDS or VV when registering. FLL Preview classes will be led by STEM Integration Specialists Charlotte Ackerman (SD) and Noah Mickey-Colman (VV). The Preview classes are scheduled on the following days: ● Mondays - Ventana Vista – August 10 and 17 from 3:00-5:30pm ● Wednesdays - Sunrise Drive - August 12 and 19 from 3:00-5:30*pm ● Fridays - Sunrise Drive - August 14 and 21 from 3:00-5:30pm
