Make a Wish? Nope, 100 Wishes!

Date: Since November 2023

Author: Team 1585 Hello World

Just like learning is a life-long journey, our FLL journey will not stop but continue driving us all the way to Houston, US, where the FLL World Festival will sail on.

So, in this blog, we want to break the limit and be a wishful thinker. ?

We want to Think Big and write down a wish-list of 100 wishes to be realised when we become the ambassadors of Australia and debut at FLL World Festival, Houston.

If we could compete in Houston, we’d love to…
