Family Resources
Families who participate together in FIRST LEGO League discover the power of curiosity, creativity, and problem-solving, building the foundation for life-long confidence in STEM learning.
Families play a critical role in children’s success in life. In FIRST programs, families support their children by providing transportation, snacks, cheering at events, and more. FIRST is looking to expand the ways families engage together in FIRST programs.

As part of Discover Class Pack registration, every student is provided a Discover More set that includes two sets of Six Bricks. Developed by The LEGO Foundation, the sets are a tool for children and their families to practice their memory, movement, creativity, and more through short, fun, playful activities using just six LEGO DUPLO four-by-six bricks.
The Discover More sets are intended for students to take home to play the Discover More game together as a family.
