What Is FLL?

The objective of FLL (First Lego League) is to get kids from grades 4-8 interested and enthusiastic about the STEM field. However the experience of FLL is way more than just working with robots. By participating on a FLL team kids learn how to work collaboratively and  build team spirit. It also helps team members creatively develop problem solving skills. Each year teams are given missions that they need to solve using robots. It’s not as simple as it sounds. The kids have to research a given topic within their team, strategically plan, build, and test programming on an autonomous robot to solve missions,  and develop a product to help solve a problem related to the theme.

The Mission 

This year the mission that was given to First Lego League was “Masterpiece”. This topic has to do with exploring passions and sharing them with the world. Teams will choose and solve a real-world problem in the Innovation Project. They will also build, test, and program an autonomous robot using Spike® technology to solve a set of missions in the Robot Game. Throughout their experience, teams will operate under the FIRST signature set of Core Values, celebrating discovery, teamwork, and Gracious Professionalism®.
