NEEDED: 2 volunteers per team!
If you can help by being a volunteer, please let Coach Tome know. Volunteers are needed to serve as referees (robot game) and as judges (for project presentations, robot design judging, and as teamwork evaluators). Mr. Tome has volunteered to be one of the Lego Lions' volunteers. Can you be the other one?

Each volunteer will need to:
  • Attend ONE of the training sessions
    - Sat. Oct. 13, 1-4 pm, Kalakaua Middle OR
    - Wed, Oct. 17, 5:30-7:30 pm, Moanalua Middle. 
  • Attend the 10/20 meeting (10 am-noon) at Sacred Hearts.
  • Serve in their volunteer role at the tournament on 11/10. This may mean that project judges will miss some or all of the robot matches in the afternoon.
