DISCLAIMER: REGISTERING ON EVENTBRITE DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARE REGISTERED FOR THE EVENT. PLEASE FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW TO OFFICIALLY REGISTER AS A VOLUNTEER.

FIRST Robotics is a program teaching students how to build robots, develop teamwork skills, and foster gracious professionalism. We are seeking volunteers to help host our event and develop the next generation of leaders in STEM.

We have roles that need some technical background as well as many that are completely non-technical. Many positions are available for those with no prior experience and/or are affiliated with a team.

To register as a volunteer, first review the available volunteering positions: https://www.norcalfll.org/volunteer-roles/

After that, here are instructions to register:

1. Go to firstinspires.org and create an account in the FIRST dashboard.

2. Click the Volunteer Registration tab and choose "Volunteer at an Event."

3. Filter by location and select an event. Choose up to five roles and apply.

4. Complete your background check and screening for youth protection.

Contact FLL@PlayingAtLearning.org if you have questions about volunteering at our events.

For those who are interested in attending the event, you may join at 11 AM to watch the event take place as an audience member. We are free and open to the public. However, our events are competitions for children who must be on a team in order to compete. Watching does not include hands-on activities to play with legos, compete, or build a robot. If your child is interested in participating, please send us an email to provide more instructions on creating a team for the 2025-26 season.
