FLL Explore (FORMERLY FLL jr.) Update

Aloha!
Whether you are stoked, hopeful, or curious about the upcoming FLL Explore “Playmakers” season, we wanted to share information to help you and your teams navigate these challenging conditions.  We are sending this email to everyone on last season’s mailing list in case you are still considering a Jr. team this season and in case any information here can help you with your remote learning plans.  Future eblasts for this season will be sent to coaches with a registered 2020-2021 FLL Explore team or anyone who responds to our survey.  Since there is so much information in this email, we created a Google site with virtual classrooms for you to explore with the following links.
