WHAT IS FIRST LEGO LEAGUE?

The FIRST LEGO League is an international competition organized by FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) in which teams are introduced to robotics with a scientific and real-world challenge for teams to focus and research on throughout the season, with a new theme or focus area each year along with a new Robot Game field of interactive mission models. Teams work together to design and build a robot and attachments out of LEGO components to activate the mission models, programming the robot to navigate the field, and strategizing to score as many points as they can in 2 minutes and 30 seconds. Teams also create an Innovation Project inspired by the season's theme, identifying a real-world problem and a potential solution, plus apply the FIRST Core Values of Discovery, Innovation, Impact, Inclusion, Teamwork, and Fun to everything they do.
