From LEGO® to Real-World Engineering: Join WCDC’s FLL to FTC Robotics Webinar

Are you looking for a way to turn your child’s love for LEGO® into a lifelong passion for technology and innovation? At Westchester Child Development Center (WCDC), we don't just teach building; we build the future.

We are thrilled to invite you to our upcoming webinar: "The WCDC Robotics Routine: Transitioning from FLL to FTC." This session is a must-attend for parents of students in grades K-12 who want to understand the roadmap from foundational play to advanced competitive engineering.

Why the "FLL to FTC" Pathway is a Game-Changer

Robotics at WCDC is more than a seasonal activity—it is a comprehensive, year-round educational journey. As students grow, their tools and challenges must evolve with them.

In this webinar, we will dive deep into:

• The Technical Evolution: How we bridge the gap between LEGO SPIKE Prime (FLL) and the professional-grade REV Robotics systems used in the FIRST® Tech Challenge (FTC).

• Coding Mastery: The progression from block-based coding to industry-standard languages like Python and Java.

• The Annual Syllabus: A breakdown of our three-phase routine—Competition Season (Sept–Feb), Engineering Enhancement (Mar–June), and our Intensive Summer Boot Camps.

• Real-World Outcomes: How our 7th-place regional finish in the Hudson Valley FLL tournament informs our high standards for the upcoming FTC season.

  

Meet the Mentors
