Welcome to the GEARED UP: Mentor Conference, where innovation meets inspiration!
Join us on May 17, 2025, from 9 am to 4 pm at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, Kossiakoff Center, for a day filled with knowledge-sharing, networking, and empowerment.
This conference is proudly presented by Aramco America and aims to equip mentors with the tools and insights needed to effectively guide an increasingly diverse generation of students.
Looking for more control, flexibility, and fun with your FLL programming? In this hands-on technical session, Marcus and Boyd show how to replace SPIKE Prime’s standard coding environment with PyBricks—a Python-based alternative that unlocks new capabilities for LEGO robots.
Learn why and how teams are making the switch, what to watch out for, and how this tool can help curious students level up their coding skills in a more open-ended environment.
