Come be inspired by what kids can accomplish as a judge or referee at a FIRST Tech Challenge or FIRST LEGO League tournament. We need both judges and referees to make these Robotics tournaments a success. This fall, students in grades 4 to 12 will form Robotics teams to participate in these FIRST programs.
In Minnesota, these talented kids will compete at an event organized by High Tech Kids. Join us to be inspired by these students. Following volunteer training in September - October, spend a full Saturday or Sunday of your choice in November through February judging or refereeing at a High Tech Kids Robotics Tournament. Kids will explain what they learned and built through these FIRST programs. Judges ask questions and provide encouragement to teams during judging sessions, then collaborate with other judges to determine award winners. Referees officiate robot performance matches, tabulate scores, and encourage teams in a fun, energy-filled environment.
Address is our office, but tournaments are held at various schools in the Twin Cities and Greater Minnesota.
Training is offered live in September - October, see our website for details https://hightechkids.org/volunteer-overview/training-volunteer/. New volunteers will be paired with an experienced volunteer at their first event. Please see our website to learn more about these exciting programs, the volunteer roles, and to see the full Tournament Schedule then sign up via our Volunteer Sign up page.
