Welcome to FIRST LEGO League Explore!

In FIRST ® LEGO® League Explore, teams 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. FIRST LEGO League Explore is one of three divisions by age group of the FIRST LEGO League program. This program inspires young people to experiment and grow their confidence, critical thinking, and design skills through hands-on learning. FIRST LEGO League was created through an alliance between FIRST ® and LEGO® Education. 

2023 - FIRST IN SHOW presented by Qualcomm and MASTERPIECE

Welcome to the FIRST ® IN SHOW season presented by Qualcomm. This year’s FIRST LEGO League challenge is called MASTERPIECE. Children will learn about how people’s passion for the arts are shared through STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). During each session, they will experience the engineering design process. There is no set order for this process, and they may go through each part several times in a single session. This means that during a session, children will be exploring the theme and ideas, creating solutions, testing them, iterating and changing them, and then sharing what they’ve learned with others. 

Season Calendar - Publishing Soon!

Core Values

The FIRST ® Core Values are the cornerstones of the program. Gracious Professionalism® is a way of doing things that encourages high-quality work, emphasizes the value of others, and respects individuals and the community. The team’s Core Values and Gracious Professionalism are evaluated during robot game matches and during the judging session at the tournament. The team demonstrates Coopertition ® by showing that learning is more important than winning and that they can help others even as they compete.
