FIRST Lego League is a program that stretches students’ thinking, challenges their creativity, and develops their teamwork skills. Students work as a team to develop an innovative solution to a real world problem and to solve challenges on the robot playing field. This year's problem has not yet been released but will will know the theme shortly.
The mission of the US FIRST robotics programs is to inspire young people to be science and technology leaders by engaging them in exciting mentor-based programs. These programs build science, engineering and technology skills, inspire innovation, and foster well-rounded life capabilities including self-confidence, communication, and leadership.
