Program information for parents and the audience

Dear parents and friends of FIRST® LEGO® League,
We would like to welcome you to the very first FIRST® LEGO® League Virtual Open International Greece. First of all, we would like to thank you for all the support and understanding this special year. Holding an event like that is very much challenging for both participants and the organizing committee, and without your help and continued support, none of this would be possible.

Our virtual event will host 200 teams from over 100 countries from around the world. More than 1,600 students and coaches will share all their hard work throughout this season and celebrate with others their accomplishments. To achieve that, more than 220 volunteers will also attend our event and help us give every single one of you the ultimate experience and the time of your life!

Our biggest concern is to hold a virtual event that offers you as much the same experience of an in person event as possible. All events and happenings will be displayed on a live stage and teams will meet with each other. We have even prepared for you a virtual pit area, where every team will have the opportunity to introduce themselves to us! Don’t forget to visit our website because your word this year matters!
You can choose your favorite team’s pit, vote and help them to win the pit area award!

Below you will find useful information about Live Stage happenings, shows and events that every viewer will be able to monitor. Short descriptions are included at the end of this document.

Kind reminder: All times are on (UTC)+ 3:00. If an event is displayed on a time not very suitable for you, don’t worry! Every single event will be recorded and broadcasted again, on a suitable time zone for every single participant or viewer!

Robot Game rounds will also be displayed for every team fan, a FIRST LEGO LEAGUE fan or just a fan of robots!

Parents Event

A Parent’s role is crucial to a child's success. Behind every successful kid, is a mother and a father who believed in their kid’s power, possibilities and future, who invested time, money and all their hopes into it. A parent who put aside his/hers wills, wants and wishes. This event is for them, to honor and thank them from the bottom of our hearts.

The Immortal Heroes of Science

A video tour in NOESIS’ exhibitions which draws from the exhibits in the permanent and temporary exhibitions and casts light on some immortal personalities of science and technology.

Let’s let things fall and see what happens

In this short demonstration, Maria and Petros observe objects that fall freely in the air and inside/through plastic and metal tubes. They observe their motion, they notice the differences, and they explain how gravity works and how the electromagnetic forces acting on objects in certain conditions can produce unexpected phenomena.
