»My first contact with HANDS on and FLL was professionally conditioned, but the virus has infected me. Again and again impressed me  the young participants in the competition through their own enthusiasm for the competition, research (just things to question, develop new ideas),and - of course - for technology. It pleases me that I should accompany HANDS on this.«

»We need to show children that it is more fun to create and construct a video game or robot than playing with it. The robotic competition FLL is absolutely appropriate for demonstrating the fun of technology.«

MDR - Bernhard Wiedemann
»The editorial department for Education and Science of MDR TV is particularly addressing to the younger audience, not just since PISA study. With the infotainment broadcast "LexiTV" and its online version www.lexi-tv.de we are striking a new path in educational TV. Even FLL is striking extraordinary paths to make children and juveniles fit for their further course of education. This is a common ground worth building on it.«

Mindstorms Forum
»An old pedagocial claim says: „Learning needs head, heart and hand.” A fact ist that we all are learning the most effective if head, heart and hand are demanded simultaneously. It is also said that: „Talk to me - and i forget. Show me - and I remember. Let me do it - and I understand.“ If have never experienced that so much as within FIRST LEGO League Tournaments or during the preparation of the students for a tournament. The enthusiasm and fun of the teams when working together is simply great. I would like to support the enthusiasm for modern technologies.«, says Frank Engeln as founder and operator of Mindstorms-Forum.

The enthusiasm of the kids and youngsters has infected me and every year I´m looking forward to being a jugde at FLL Final Central Europe. There is also my “personal affection" to LEGO because I have experienced the creative scope of the bricks when I was a child and as well together with my son. The idea of FLL, to bring young people closer to modern technologies and arouse their interest for the item is my very special personal concern.

»Working for and with young people inspired my work everyday. In FLL impressed me time and again the ingenuity of the contestants in dealing with modern technologies. I do not want to miss the happy and motivating tournamentatmosphere.

As an employee of a museum, especially the young people want to bring the history of information and communication technology in more detail, I look forward to supporting the work of Hands On to be able to.
