Student Roles and Responsibilities

Roles

If FLL Explore team members had named roles, they might include:

  • Systems Engineer
  • Research Scientist
  • Architect
  • Mechanical Engineer
  • Software Engineer
All FLL Explore team members participate in all team activities, bringing their unique viewpoints and strengths to the team.

Responsibilities

Team Participation

Student team members are expected to attend and participate in all team activities, except where illness/unexpected events intervene.  They are team members, not just members of a club.

Fundraising, community service, and community appearances

We welcome FLL Explore student participation in general ARBC activities when accompanied by their parents/guardians where it is safe and reasonable at the parent/guardian’s discretion.

Application, registration, and contract

Students must be pre-registered by their parents/guardians and completion of official on-line FIRST registration is required to be full-fledged team members.  Participation contracts aren’t typical for FLL Explore teams, but we do encourage parents to ensure their student attends every team meeting.  All team members are important to the success of the team.

FIRST Core Values

FIRST Core Values are cornerstones of the FIRST programs, distinguishing them from others of their kind.  By embracing the Core Values, participants learn that friendly competition and mutual gain are not separate goals, and that helping one another is the foundation of teamwork.

  • Discovery: We explore new skills and ideas.
  • Innovation: We use creativity and persistence to solve problems.
  • Impact: We apply what we learn to improve our world.
  • Inclusion: We respect each other and embrace our differences.
  • Teamwork: We are stronger when we work together.
  • Fun: We enjoy and celebrate what we do!
