The 2009 FIRST LEGO League season is off to a fast start. Over 300 teams have signed up to participate across Oregon and SW Washington. They have been busy since early-September developing their robots to meet this year's challenge, and researching this year's hot topic: the Smart Move - transforming transportation.
ORTOP will run 18 local qualifying tournaments across Oregon and in Vancouver in early December, followed by 2 state championship tournaments in mid-January 2009. Local qualifying tournaments will be held in Bend, Corvallis, Hillsboro, La Grande, McMinnville, Portland, Roseburg, Vancouver & Wilsonville. The two championship tournaments will be held at Liberty High School in Hillsboro as in previous years.
Each tournament requires a team of judges, referees, and day-of-tournament volunteers. As a past tournament participant, I'm sure you know this is an incredible opportunity to expose kids to the fun and creativity of science, engineering and teamwork. Thanks for your participation in the past. We hope you can help out again this year.
Judge and Referee training being in just over 3 weeks. If you would like to participate in one of these areas this year, signup soon. Training is offered live at Hillsboro High, Mentor Graphics, OMSI, and via Web- or Tele-conference.
