Sorry, Registration for 2014-2015 is now closed. Please check back in May 2015 to register for next season! What is Forest Hills Robotics League(FHRL)? FHRL is a parent run non-profit organization that promotes Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics through robotics activity and competitions. We are open to kids age 6-18. Our structure is modeled after the Little League system, where one or two parents volunteer their time to coach the team, and the other parents act as mentors to the team, thus Parent participation is absolutely critical to the success of the team. We provide equipment (computer, software, LEGO sets and Robotics systems) training and space to the teams. Junior teams will have an Exposition to showcase their work at the end of the season, the older teams, FLL and FTC, will compete in Regional Tournaments and City Wide Championship. Fee (2014- 2015)
Please note that our space is limited, so plan to come early for registration. Also, volunteering as a coach will more likely guarantee your child a spot on the team. For new members, NO PAYMENT is required at registration time. You only pay after you have been offered and accepted a spot on the team.  Level I (age 6-7) / II (age 7-8) / III (age 8/9) The JFLL team consists of 6-8 kids per team. Each year the
team will be given a real-world challenge which they will solve it doing
research, critical thinking and imagination. They will spend part of
their time discussing about the challenge, and part of the time working
with the LEGO models. At the end of the season they will have a Show-Me
poster and a LEGO model to showcase at the Exposition.
