First Lego League  Qualifier Tournament  in Santa Clara, CA.

Intel will host the First Lego League regional competition on Saturday & Sunday, November 22 & 23, in SC12, 3600 Juliette Lane, Santa Clara and we need many helpers.

Shifts range from 2-hours up to 8 hours. This is a great chance to witness sheer energy and excitement of the kids as they bring their dream to reality and connect with STEM.

–         Research challenges facing today’s scientist

–         Learn critical thinking, team-building and presentation skills
