FIRST
LEGO League (FLL) is an exciting and fun international robotics
program that ignites an enthusiasm for discovery, science, and
technology in kids ages 9 to 14.
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
participants:
- 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
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.
No
matter what the child’s subject interest, FLL offers an
opportunity for engagement.
