Being unable to reconcile a contract dispute with FIRST, it is with much regret that we announce that the University of Memphis will no longer be the Program Delivery Partner for FIRST Lego League Challenge in the West TN Region.
The University of Memphis and the West TN STEM Hub will still assist STEM Robotics Programs (including FIRST) by continuing to provide teacher training and support for STEM Robotics and will work with the new FIRST Program Delivery Partner(s) and Organization once they are announced.
All inquiries as to the upcoming FIRST Lego League Challenge season should be directed to Athena Damdounis adamdounis@firstinspires.org at FIRST HQ.
