Engaging Youth in STEM Exploration

Participants gain real-world problem-solving experiences through a guided, global robotics program using LEGO® technology, helping today’s students, families, and educators build a better future together. 

Friendly competition is at the heart of Challenge, as teams of students ages 9-16* engage in research, problem-solving, coding, and engineering - building and programming a LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Prime robot that navigates the missions of a robot game. They also participate in a research project to identify and solve a relevant real-world problem.

How does FLLC Work at ASI?

Alta Sierra can have as many teams as there are parents willing to volunteer to coach (2 coaches per team are required). Prior experience is not required, for the students nor the coaches!  Teams are between 2 and 10 students.

Teams typically meet in the home of the coach 1-2 times per week to prepare for the fall competition season.  (Note: coaches must undergo background screening and fingerprinting).
