The FIRST LEGO League Explore program is for ages 6 to 9, made up of a team of 2 to 6 members, the season is from June to May. The schedule is very flexible, up to the pace of each team.  Team may meet once a week (about 1-2 hours each) for about 6-10 weeks. Then participate in one of the FLL Explore Expos to show their work and have fun in a non-competitive event with other FLL Explore teams.

There is no hard deadline to start or end the  team season, as long as it is somewhere between June to April. You may need to target which Expo your team wants to participate and plan the team meetings accordingly. The earliest NJ FLL Explore Expo is the Northern NJ State Championship event usually held on the 2nd weekend of December. The LRC Expo is usually held on the weekend before Memorial Day. Dates and events are subject to change from year to year.

See FIRST website for the list of Expos (make sure the FLL Explore and Events boxes are checked for the State selected).
