FIRST LEGOĻ League provides an inspirational learning experience that celebrates science and technology for 9 to 14 year-old children. FLL believes that the natural curiosity and creativity inherent in children are qualities critical to understanding complex problems, envisioning possibilities, and developing innovative solutions. Bringing theory and practice together in a revolutionary program, FLL empowers participants to use what they learn in the classroom, combined with the latest technology, to solve the Challenge--a current scientific or technological need facing the world.

Working in an environment that encourages inquiry and hands-on experimentation, team members fulfill project responsibilities modeled after actual professions. The roles they assume grant them the thrill of discovery as they witness first hand how abstract concepts become concrete solutions. Team members also learn life skills such as respect for others, appreciation of different perspectives, cooperation, perseverance, and time management. As a result of the FLL experience, participants gain confidence, discover new skills and interests, and shape their futures--as they, in turn, shape ours.
