Volunteer Training
Over 40 volunteers are needed for each tournament, including; referees, judges, tech support, tournament set-up and tear-down. These volunteers make it happen! We have free training for all judges and referees. Join this fantastic group of people and be inspired by the kids in your neighborhood.
We work hard within Minnesota to develop an interest and ability in kids that live here. Every year, over 700 volunteers reach children at an age when they make decisions (grades 3 - 9) that will impact their ability to pursue STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) education and careers, and enable these future citizens to be technologically literate.
We have many volunteer opportunities to fit your schedule, for a half day commitment or more:
- FIRST Lego League Judge: for robot design, programming, research or teamwork
- FIRST Lego League Referee
- Tournament event volunteer: Load in, Load out, Team check in, Merchandise Sales
- FIRST Lego League Coach or Mentor

Description
High Tech Kids is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit that supports the Minnesota FIRST LEGO League Explore, FIRST LEGO League Challenge and Minnesota FIRST Tech Challenge each fall/winter. Through these programs we train, teach and empower student teams, coaches and volunteers.
With the help of more than 700 volunteers, we work hard to offer high energy, fun, team-based programs and competitions that celebrate science and technology. Kids learn how to work together, solve real-world problems and become leaders. To support High Tech Kids is to invest in our children, to share our passion, and to inspire these future innovators, leaders, collaborators, and problem solvers for the 21st century.
High Tech Kids now serves over 7,500 kids across Minnesota each year. Since our inception in 1999 we have helped over 67,000 students discover the fun in science and technology.
High Tech Kids’ programs, training, research workshops and competitions provide adult volunteers the opportunity to share their enthusiasm and expertise with young people in their community. These volunteers encourage kids to explore future STEM career possibilities.
