More Than Robots
FIRST LEGO League’s (FLL) annual Challenges are based on “real world” scientific topics like nanotechnology, energy resources, transportation, and accessibility. Teams tackle the same issues as today’s scientists and engineers!
FLL is about more than building and competing with robots. In the Project, teams research a real-world problem, create an innovative solution, and share their findings with their community.
Children develop technical skills as a result of participating in FLL, but they also develop important life and employment skills that will benefit them no matter what career path they choose. Brandeis University evaluations have shown that children learn critical thinking, time management, collaboration, and how to communicate effectively, all while becoming more self confident.
Many children become interested in a career path related to one of the Challenge topics, inspiring them to become the next generation of scientists and engineers.
Team activities are guided by a set of FLL Core Values, including: We do the work to find the solutions with guidance from our coaches and mentors.
