Volunteer
We are grateful to the Lanna staff, parents, students and community members who have already volunteered to support Level Up at Lanna. We expect to have most event roles filled before registration opens.
If you are interested in becoming involved, we would still be pleased to hear from you. Additional volunteers may assist with judging, scorekeeping, Robot Skills, field resetting, team queuing, pit services, technical operations, or general event support.
Previous robotics experience is helpful for some positions but is not required for most roles. Training and guidance will be provided, and some specialist roles may require certification.
Food and refreshments will be provided for registered volunteers.
