FIRST® LEGO® League is a collaboration between the LEGO® Company and
FIRST (an acronym that stands for For Inspiration and Recognition of
Science and Technology), a non-profit organization founded by Dean
Kamen that is committed to creating robotic competition programs that
will excite and inspire children from Kindergarten through high school
to excel in math and science.
FLL is a multi-disciplinary program that combines engineering, computer
programming, problem-solving, researching, presenting and teamwork into
an intense 8 week period. Teams of 3 to 10 children, ages 9 – 14,
work to build and program a robot to complete a number of tasks on a
competition table in a 2.5 minute robot round. Teams compete in a
sports-like environment where spectators cheer their successes.
Teams also meet with Robot Design Judges, who evaluate their robot
design, programming and their problem-solving strategies; Project
Judges, who look at their research project, solution and outreach; and
Core Values Judges, who evaluate how well the group functioned as a
team and incorporated the values of FIRST. More information can
