Training for Educators and Coaches

by Stefanie Sieber

In spring, we hosted a three-part professional development series for Discover, Explore, and Challenge together with VDI-GaraGe Leipzig. A total of 43 educators from kindergartens, after-school care, and schools participated – a strong signal of growing interest in FIRST LEGO League in the education sector.

This fall, we’ll once again offer diverse training formats for teachers, coaches, and education professionals – practical, experience-based, and perfectly aligned with the new season “UNEARTHED” and your role as a coach.
