FIRST® inspires young people to be science and technology leaders and innovators by engaging them in exciting mentor-based programs that build science, engineering, and technology skills, that inspire innovation, and that foster well-rounded life capabilities including self-confidence, communication, and leadership.

FIRST® LEGO® League (FLL)

Grade 1 - 4

FIRST® LEGO® League introduces science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) through fun, exciting hands-on learning. Participants gain real-world problem solving experience through a guided, global robotics program, helping today’s students and teachers build a better future together. Our divisions inspire youth to experiment and grow their critical thinking, coding, and design skills through hands-on STEM learning and robotics.

The students will work as a team to design, build, and program an Android based robot from a provided kit of parts including motors, sensors, and a large array of mechanical components. The class culminates at a FTC competition including live head-to-head games where the team’s robot will perform tasks to earn points and try to outscore the opponent. (The event will be on a weekend day in late fall, pending event host announcements and our group’s availability). Participants in FTC are also eligible to apply for FIRST scholarship opportunities.
