Start a Team

FIRST® LEGO® League (FLL®) introduces young people, ages 9 to 14* (grades 4-8), to the fun and excitement of science and technology. Children program an autonomous robot (using a LEGO® MINDSTORMS® robot set) to score points on a thematic playing surface, create innovative solutions to a problem, all while being guided by the program’s signature Core Values.

Each year FLL releases a new Challenge. The Challenge is released in late August. The challenge has three parts.

• Robot Game: Build and program an autonomous LEGO® MINDSTORMS® robot.


• Project: Teams learn more about the science behind the Challenge theme and design a solution to solve a realworld problem.


• Core Values: The Core Values are part of what makes FIRST® LEGO® League so special, because kids compete like crazy but still respect their teammates, coaches, and even their “competitors” – and they have FUN!
