• Become an FLL Tournament Partner

  Are you interested in hosting a high profile event at your location?  We are currently looking to develop the network of tournament partners to host regional finals and encourage local schools to participate in the FLL challenge.  There are many benefits to you by incorporating FLL within your outreach programme, including: ·         A programme that can underpin a significant amount of outreach work for you through a sustainable structure. ·         Engagement with your local community, including schools, youth groups and businesses. ·         Development of key life skills in children who are the target audience for your courses and career opportunities – investment in the future. ·         A high profile event in your local area and a link with LEGO®, one of the best known brands in the world. ·         Community engagement through a mentor scheme for local schools – an excellent opportunity for CV enhancement. ·         Association with the real life solutions teams provide as part of their research project.  For example during the 2009 Smart Move season a Member of Parliament tabled an early day motion based on one teams research into safety walking to school.
