Volunteers Needed for Seven Hills FIRST® LEGO® League Qualifying Event — Dec. 6

Are you ready for a high-energy day filled with kids, creativity, and robots?

We are excited to invite you to volunteer at this year’s Seven Hills FIRST® LEGO® League Qualifying Event on Saturday, Dec. 6! This is a unique opportunity to be part of an inspiring, joy-filled experience where students showcase their learning, innovation, and teamwork.

Event Overview

This year’s theme, “Unearthed,” challenges teams to uncover the past to discover the future. Students have been designing robots, researching innovative projects, and practicing gracious professionalism as they prepare to compete and share their work.

The morning features team presentations for judges, while the afternoon is all about the Robot Game — a fast-paced, crowd-energizing competition where robots complete as many missions as possible in two and a half minutes.

• Field Reset (9 a.m.-2:30 p.m.)
• Team Queuer (Shift A: 8–11a.m./Shift B: 11:30 a.m.–2:30 p.m.)
• Score Keeper / Score Entry
• Referee
• Judge (Technical, Project, or Core Values) – Must be 25 or older.
• Check-In /Concessions
• Floater (various shifts)

All volunteers receive training and support throughout the day. Most importantly, you’ll get to be part of an unforgettable event where students’ creativity and teamwork take center stage.
