Now that the season is over, the FLL committee would like to sell our 15 full field kits to help offset expenses. These would be great for camps, workshops or newly formed teams.

We must sell them for $75 to cover our costs (kit plus shipping expense).
The field set includes:
· The mat
· All the elements

Payment will be made by credit card only at SLCC – Flo Valley Cashiers Office. You must pick up your purchase at Flo Valley. Date TBD.

FIRST on T.V.

On August 14th on ABC, will.i.am from The Black Eyed Peas and inventor/ FIRST® founder Dean Kamen teamed up for “i.am FIRST -- Science is Rock and Roll,” a one-hour special taking a look inside the 20th Annual FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Championship. The Championship was held in St. Louis.

FIRST St. Louis Region extends our greatest thanks to our sponsors and to the hundreds of volunteers who make our programs successful. We thank you for supporting our mission, and making a difference in the lives of our young people.
