About the Program
In Explore, teams of students in grades 2-4 focus on the fundamentals of engineering as they explore real-world problems, learn to design and code and create unique solutions made with LEGO bricks and powered by LEGO Education SPIKE Essential kit. There are three essential parts to Explore each year: core values, the LEGO model, and the team poster.
Explore

About the Season
Each year in early August, FIRST LEGO League Explore releases a new Challenge for teams that focuses on a scientific topic. Teams are sent on a journey of discovery to learn all they can about the topic, then present their findings in the form of a team poster and a LEGO model that moves.
Teams start their season in late September and meet once per week for eight weeks. The regional qualifier is the capstone to the FIRST LEGO League Explore experience. It is a time for teams to show off all the hard work they have done this season, connect with other teams, be inspired, be challenged and most of all be CELEBRATED! . The FLL Regional Qualifier takes place in early December at the Putnam Museum and Science Center.
