FIRST LEGO League (FLL) is an exciting and fun global robotics program that ignites an enthusiasm for discovery, science, and technology in kids ages 9 to 14 (16 outside of the U.S. and Canada).

Each year FLL teams embark on an adventurous Challenge based on current, real-world issues. Guided by a team coach and assisted by mentors, the kids:

Research and solve a real-world problem based on the Challenge theme

Present their research and solutions

Build an autonomous robot using engineering concepts



Using the yearly Challenges, FLL:

Entices kids to think like scientists and engineers

Provides a fun, creative, hands-on learning experience

Teaches kids to experiment and overcome obstacles

Builds self-esteem and confidence

Inspires kids to participate in science and technology



No matter what the child's subject interest, FLL offers an opportunity for engagement.Whether it is by creativity, technology, or research, FLL dares kids to test, explore, expand, or completely change thoughts and approaches for different sciences each year.
