FIRST LEGO LEAGUE CHALLENGE

FIRST® LEGO® League Challenge introduces science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) to children through fun, exciting hands-on learning. Students gain real-world problem-solving experience through a guided, global robotics program, helping today's students and teachers build a better future together.  Participating in teams, they take their background knowledge of STEM and put it into practice as they work in teams to design and build robots using the LEGO® Education SPIKE Prime and SPIKE Essential. Every week we present teachers with a challenge that their students need to complete. Students need to problem-solve using blocking coding to complete the challenge. These challenges are specifically designed to help them compete at the end-of-the-year competition.


At the end of the year, all Compton K-8 schools compete in the  FIRST Lego League Challenge where they apply their STEM skills combined with critical thinking to work with a team, build a robot, and compete in an exciting, mission-based robotics game. 


Schools in Participation: 

Davis, Whaley, Tibby, Laurel St, Kelly, Mayo, Compton Early College, Clinton, Dickison, Anderson, Roosevelt, Jefferson & King

Mandatory Student Consent Forms

FIRST requires all teams to have youth team members registered with FIRST. Youth team members who have not registered will not be permitted to participate on the FIRST team and compete in FIRST events.

In cases where a student is unable to register due to lack of internet access or an undue burden, FIRST will not require registration in the Youth Registration System and the youth may submit a paper copy of the FIRST Consent and Release Form. The parent/guardian should contact the lead coach/mentor of their youth’s team to request a paper copy of the FIRST Consent and Release Form. The lead coach/mentor will then contact the local FIRST Program Delivery Partner, who will review request and determine if an exception will be made.
