Learn critical thinking, team building and presentation skills

FIRST® LEGO® League (FLL) is a robotics program for 9 to 14 year olds.  It is designed to get children excited about science, math and technology – and teach them valuable 21st century life skills. In FIRST LEGO League, kids design and program LEGO EV3 Mindstorms® robots. They research challenges facing today’s scientists. Youth learn critical thinking, team building and presentation skills. They exercise their creativity and innovative thinking – all while having a lot of fun!

Everyone Belongs

“This is such a great event. It gives students that are not necessarily athletic a team to belong to. I have all Gifted students and they need to belong. They like to just be together. We meet long after the season is over to just be together.” ~ Coach

Knowledge and Action

“I raised by hand when the emcee asked if knowledge is power. I believe it is. Then he said, “No. Knowledge and action are power.” It was a memorable moment, because it impresses on the kids to use your knowledge and to learn by doing.” ~Tournament Volunteer

A Light Bulb Goes Off

“Very memorable for both teams I coached is the light bulb going off as they did the research. This year researching life in space was something new for these students. Space is not something they learn about in school so this was very fascinating for them.” ~Coach
