This is a networking group for Florida Home Educators to learn about the various LEGO programs available and how to use them in a homeschooling environment. LEGO - Homeschool Florida is also a place for teams searching for members and members searching for teams to meet up with to connect with each other. Be sure to include your location and/or homeschool group in your posts and introduction request!

This list was started by HCECF because we often get folks from out of our local area looking for homeschool LEGO teams. It's also nice to know which other teams at various competitions are made up of homeschoolers!

"LEGO-Homeschool Florida" is a virtual group only! It's a service to share information and allow folks to find people in their area! This group does not have face to face meetings.

Please keep this list ON-TOPIC! This is not a general homeschool list nor support group. Some appropriate topics would include:

Using LEGOS in your homeschool education curriculum
Forming/Joining a team
Junior FIRST LEGO League (Jr.FLL)
FIRST LEGO League (FLL)
EARLY Robotics
BOT Ball
NXT Sumo

Related subjects that are considered ON-Topic
VEX Robotics, FIRST Robotics, FIRST Tech Challenge

*BE SURE TO INCLUDE YOUR CITY AND COUNTY IN THE INTRODUCTION BOX.

While we'd love to try and help everyone, time constraints of our volunteers, require that this list focus on the specific needs of homeschoolers in Florida, in particular helping match folks up with others near them. Please, look for a similar list in your state.

Last year, 2007, TWO homeschooled FLL teams went to the World Championships. Can it be done again in 2008?
