What is FIRST® LEGO® League?
FIRST® LEGO® League introduces science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) to children ages 4-15 through fun, exciting hands-on learning. FIRST LEGO League participants gain real-world problem-solving experiences through a guided, global robotics program, helping today’s students and teachers build a better future together.
In FIRST LEGO League, students engage in hands-on STEM experiences, building confidence, growing their knowledge and developing habits of learning. The FIRST LEGO League divisions inspire youth to experiment and grow their critical thinking, coding and design skills through hands-on STEM learning and robotics.
