What is FIRST® Lego League?
FIRST® Lego League isa powerful program that engages children in playful and meaningful learning while helping them discover the fun in science and technology. Guided by adult Coaches, FIRST LEGO League teams research a problem such as food safety or recycling and are challenged to develop a solution. They must also design, build and program a robot using LEGO MINDSTORMS® technology to compete on a table-top playing field.
