In spite of the rainy weather, our Beginner Camp is still on for 6/12 & 6/13. Please make sure to monitor your own route to Ames/campus for road closures and travel safety through the Iowa DOT website or by phoning 511 on your cell phone.

Through a gift to FIRST of over $1.3 million, Rockwell Collins has teamed with FIRST and ISU to promote FLL and FTC across Iowa.  This exciting news allows FIRST programming to reach even more students and spread that engineering fever!  We encourage you to look under the FLL tab and clicking on ”Start a Team” to learn more about a grant opportunity for new FLL teams, and we thank Rockwell Collins for their generosity and taking a leadership role in making engineering opportunities accessible to so many Iowans. 

We just opened registration for the 2008 ISEK summer camps! Head over to the Camp page to sign up. We expect that camps will fill up fast, so be sure to sign up promptly. For previous year’s participants, we will have some of last year’s “favorite” activities along with some new ones.

If your child is interested in participating in an ISEK engineering summer camp, save the date now! We’ve posted the schedule of our camp offerings for this summer on the Camps page. Registration for ISEK summer camps opens on April 9, so be sure to register promptly.

FIRST is desperately in need of JUDGES for World Festival! Remember, this is the international competition of FLL teams. Any interested parties should contact Linda Hammond at lhammond@usfirst.org or 1-800-871-8326 x457.
