FIRST LEGO League (FLL) introduces young people, ages 9 to 14 (grades 4-8), to the fun and excitement of science and technology.
Children program an autonomous robot (using a LEGO MINDSTORMS robot set) to score point on a thematic playing surface, create innovative solutions to a problem, all while being guided by the program’s signature Core Values. Each year in November there is a regional tournament at the Southwest Virginia Higher Education Center.
