About the Program
The W.A.F.F.L.E.S. FIRST LEGO League Discover program for ages 4-6 was founded in 2021. We run FIRST LEGO League Discover each fall, beginning in September and culminating in special celebration Festival.
In FIRST LEGO League Discover, teams of up to four students learn about a different real-world problem each season and develop an innovative solution for it. They work together to build a creative LEGO DUPLO model of their solution.

Meetings
One-Hour meetings take place weekly. There are a total of 10 sessions, beginning in September. Meetings are scheduled in our public Google calendar, which is visible at the bottom of the webpage and can be added here.
Parental Involvement
Meeting lessons and activities are lead by our volunteers. Parents are required to stay at meetings to help supervise and keep their child focused on the current activity. This is a fun, interactive time for parents and their children.
Team Communications
All of our programs communicate using a platform called Slack, which is commonly used in workplaces. Parents will receive an invitation to join Slack upon registration so that we can effectively send reminders and communicate about team meetings and events.
