Welcome to Junior FIRST LEGO League!

Junior FIRST LEGO League (Jr.FLL) is a hands-on program designed to capture young children's inherent curiosity and creativity and direct it toward discovering the possibilities of improving the world around them. Jr.FLL utilizes theme-based Challenges to engage kids in research, problem solving, and introductory engineering concepts. The cornerstones of the program are its Core Values, which emphasize contributions of others, friendly sportsmanship, learning, and community involvement.

Each annual Challenge has two parts, the Poster and the Model.  Working at their own pace in teams of up to 6 and guided by at least one adult coach, kids:

• Investigate the theme, according to the specific Challenge instructions
• Document how they researched and what they learned on a creative poster
• Build a model out of LEGO elements, incorporating a moving piece

The culmination of all that hard work for many teams is the participation in an event. Events for Jr.FLL are hosted, organized, and managed by the community. This means anyone is able to run an event for Jr.FLL teams, including you! The event can be similar to a science-fair type atmosphere, with the kids discussing their project with volunteers and other teams. The event experience is all about recognizing the Jr.FLL teams and celebrating their achievements. We encourage all teams to share what they have done with others, with just family or at an event.

On top of that, parents and teams can also use this web site to broaden communication and enrich their Jr.FLL experience.

Jr.FLL is part of the continuum of programs at FIRST and the result of a partnership between FIRST and The LEGO Group. In 1998, FIRST Founder Dean Kamen and The LEGO Group’s Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen joined forces to create FIRST LEGO League (FLL). Jr.FLL developed in 2004, filling the need to engage younger kids in science and technology.
