FIRST LEGO League is a guided robotics competition, helping students in grades 4-8 and teachers to build a better future together.

FLL is built around theme-based challenges to engage youth in research, problem solving, coding, and engineering. The foundation of the program is the FIRST Core Values, which emphasizes teamwork, discovery, and innovation.

‍

• Strategize, design, build, program, and test a robot using LEGO technology
• Create innovative solutions for today's challenges as part of their research project
• Develop valuable life skills, including critical thinking, time management, collaboration, and communication, while becoming more confident
• Become involved in their local and global community
