A Hands-on Approach to STEM Learning

FIRST LEGO LEAGUE

FIRST LEGO League introduces science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) to children ages 4-16 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 Discover

PreK - Grade 1

For children ages 4-6, this playful introductory STEM program ignites their natural curiosity and builds their habits of learning with hands-on activities in the classroom and at home using LEGO® DUPLO® bricks.

FIRST® LEGO League Explore

Grades 2 - 4

In Explore, teams of 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 SPIKE Essential or WeDo 2.0.

FIRST® LEGO League Challenge

Grades 4 - 8

Friendly competition is at the heart of Challenge, as teams of students ages 9-16 research, problem-solve, code, and build - creating and programming a LEGO robot that navigates the missions of a robot game.

Getting Started

FIRST LEGO League gives elementary and middle school students the opportunity to work and create together to solve a common problem.
