Imagine, Invent, Innovate!

FIRST® LEGO® League is an international program that introduces children to the fun experience of solving real-world problems by applying science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). Guided by adult mentors and their own imaginations, FLL participants solve real-world engineering challenges, develop important life skills, and learn to make positive contributions to society.

Each September, a new Challenge is unveiled to FLL teams across the world. Over the course of eight weeks, teams strategize, design, build, program, test, and refine a fully autonomous robot capable of completing the various missions of the FLL International "Robot Game" using LEGO® MINDSTORMS® technology. Teams also search the web, talk to scientists, visit the library, and develop compelling presentations that relates to a problem or opportunity facing the world today.

When children build and experiment, they live the entire process of creating ideas, solving problems, and overcoming obstacles. The FLL program meets children where they are and helps to shape a positive perception of science and technology. We believe that children's natural curiosity and creativity are critical qualities to envisioning possibilities and developing innovative solutions to challenging technology problems and opportunities. We therefore strive to strengthen their inherent motivation to learn in new ways.
