FIRST® LEGO® League

Every year we are proud to host both FIRST® LEGO® League Explore and Challenge Regional Finals.

Every year, FIRST® LEGO® League releases a new challenge based on a real-world theme, with this year’s teams tasked in exploring how to use technology and the arts to help engage others. The teams presented their research, designs and accompanying information to a judging panel on the day of the tournament. Teams were also required to build and programme a robot which took part in a range of timed missions with scores awarded for project innovation, robot design and core values.

Learn more about Explore and Challenge, alongside this year's theme below. To get involved in future FIRST LEGO League Regional - get in touch.

FIRST® LEGO® League Challenge

Age: 9 to 16

FIRST® LEGO® League Challenge is a global STEM programme for teams of young people, to encourage an interest in real world themes and develop key skills that are crucial for their future careers.

Young people work together to explore a given topic and to design, build and program an autonomous LEGO® robot to solve a series of missions.

This year's challenge.

In February we hosted this years FIRST® LEGO® League challenge. During the SUBMERGED℠ Season, FIRST® LEGO® League teams used creative thinking and LEGO® technology to explore the layers of the ocean and bring their learnings and ideas to the surface as they “saw” into the future.

Children worked together in teams of up to six to explore the theme and used LEGO® pieces from the SUBMERGED℠ Explore sets and LEGO® Education Spike Essentials. The teams learned about ocean habitats, animals, vehicles, and places where research could be conducted.

We will be putting on our own festival in July for any schools that would like to bring their teams to showcase their work to others.

Check back here soon for details on the 2025/6 FIRST® LEGO® League Challenge.
