Engaging Youth in STEM Exploration with FIRST® LEGO® League

FIRST® LEGO® League Inspires Youth Through Hands-on STEM Learning

FIRST® LEGO® League builds habits of learning, confidence, and teamwork skills along the way.

FIRST® LEGO® League introduces science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) to children in grades PK-7 through fun, exciting hands-on learning. FIRST® LEGO® League participants gain real-world problem-solving experiences through a guided, global robotics program, helping today’s students and teachers build a better future together. In FIRST® LEGO® League, students engage in hands-on STEM experiences, building confidence, growing their knowledge and developing habits of learning. FIRST® LEGO® League’s three divisions inspire youth to experiment and grow their critical thinking, coding and design skills through hands-on STEM learning and robotics.

FIRST Lego League Explore (Grades K-3)

In FIRST LEGO League Explore, teams of 2 to 6 students ages 6-10 focus on the fundamentals of engineering as they explore real-world problems, learn to design and code, and create unique solutions made with LEGO bricks and powered by LEGO Education WeDo 2.0. Teams present their findings in the form of a team poster and a LEGO model that moves.
