FIRST LEGO League (FLL), for students ages 9 to 14, challenges teams with a real-world scientific problem of global importance. Using LEGO Mindstorms technology, teams of up to 10 students build a robot capable of completing multiple tasks on a three-dimensional playing field.
FLL encourages kids to think like scientists and engineers, while providing a fun, creative, hands-on and team-based learning experience.
Guided by a team coach and assisted by mentors, teams of up to 10 students:
- Research and solve a real-world problem based on the Challenge theme
- Present their research and solutions to judges at competition
- Build an autonomous robot using engineering concepts
