First Lego League Jr.

First Lego League

It’s never too early to discover STEM. FIRST LEGO League Jr.* is designed to introduce STEM concepts to kids ages 6 to 10 while exciting them through a brand they know and love − LEGO®.

Guided by adult coaches and FIRST® Core Values, students build models using LEGO® Education WeDo 2.0 and create Show Me posters to present what they learned. The program focuses on building interest in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) through a real-world challenge – to be solved by research, critical thinking, and imagination.

About

We support 30+ FIRST LEGO League Jr teams in local schools. We provide training and the materials that are needed for teams of 4-6 students each in grades K-4. FLL Jr is a program that generally meets once a week for 12-13 weeks, and culminates in an Expo for students to display and celebrate their work in an environment similar to a science fair.

History

We host a expo in Winter and Spring each year and continue to add more teams each year. One of our first teams in the St. Patrick's school expanded there program to over a 100 students.
