Once again IEEE Buenaventura Section is supporting middle school robotics by sponsoring the annual FIRST Lego League Robotics Tournament. The tournament will be on Saturday, November 8, 2025, at the Ventura County Office of Education Conference Center in Camarillo. Teams of robot enthusiasts age 10 to 14 will compete for a chance to go to the regional tournament. The IEEE has been generous in its support over many years both financially and in providing volunteers. It is a lot of fun and you will be greatly impressed with what these young people accomplish and their enthusiasm.

If you are available to volunteer from 8 AM to 4 PM we can definitely use you in a variety of roles, from assisting with judging, monitoring the games, and other jobs. No robotics experience is needed. Lunch and refreshments will be provided.

Please E-mail Deron Johnson and the planning team at fll-2025@ieee-bv.org to volunteer or ask questions. Feel free to pass this on to anyone you think might enjoy volunteering!
