SUPERPOWERED Coach Email Volume 4- 12/8/22 World Festival in Houston!
Greetings Coaches! Welcome to SUPERPOWERED!
If you are new to this email this is the place where you will find all of the Washington specific FIRST LEGO League Explore information. Coaches and team administrators in the FIRST system for the SUPERPOWERED season will be added weekly. Every email from me will be numbered, and that number lets you know which update it is. If you miss an update you can find it on our website.
I have 5 items for you today:
- World Festival in Houston
- FIRST Washington registration
- Event Registration
- Event Assignments!
- Invoices and Fees
World Festival in Houston Texas
Teams interested in attending World Festival in Houston, the process has changed. I am allowed to submit two teams to FIRST’s lottery in January for a chance to attend World Festival.
Teams interested in attending from Washington, I have created a short form for you to fill out. https://app.smartsheet.com/b/form/5c15e24a9a0e4351a44117e98cea8fd1
If more than 2 teams sign up on the form, I will hold a drawing on 12/26/22. Teams submitted to FIRST for the World Festival lottery will be notified on 12/27/22. FIRST will be holding their lottery in early January.
FIRST Washington Registration
If you are planning to attend events this season, please fill out our FIRST Washington registration form. This is required for all teams in Washington. You will not be able to attend events or receive an event assignment or an invoice from FIRST Washington until you do!
