FIRST® LEGO® League guides youth through STEM learning and exploration at an early age. From Discover, to Explore, and then to Challenge, students will understand the basics of STEM and apply their skills in an exciting competition while building habits of learning, confidence, and teamwork skills along the way.
FIRST Lego League offers an opportunity for talented students to code and innovate a new idea that could change the world and more.
This year's theme is SUBMERGED: Ocean Exploration. We had to create a project to help the oceans, save the oceans, or explore the oceans. Our project united us as a team and met all of the goals.
As a team, the World Whales have 4 members from two grade levels, and an idea to change the world. We have three main components of our project that are ready to take down harmful sunscreens in the ocean. Reference the pages in the header above for more info.
