Robots. LEGO bricks. Game pieces. Tools. Team T-shirts. Pizza boxes. Remove the people from a FIRST community event, and these are some of the objects you might see left behind. They are the artifacts future archaeologists can use to put together the pieces of the FIRST story.
Archaeology helps uncover cultural histories through the study of artifacts. The field provides insight into how living beings have interacted with our planet and each other throughout history. It reconstructs the stories of our communities so we can learn from our past.
During our archaeology-inspired season, FIRST teams and supporters will use STEM and collaboration skills to unearth new fi ndings about ourselves and our collective communities to help build a better world. Dig in with FIRST!

Each of the four equally weighted parts of FIRST® LEGO® League Challenge accounts for 25% of your total performance during practice and at the competition.
At the tournament, your team will present your robot design and innovation project work to the judges during the judging session, and your robot performance will be evaluated at the robot game. Core Values are evaluated in all parts of your work, and you will receive scores from the judges and referees for how you apply them.
