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.

• Robot Game – Build and program an autonomous LEGO MINDSTORMS robot.
• Project – Teams learn more about the science behind the Challenge and design a solution to solve a real-world problem.
• Core Values – Kids compete like crazy but still respect their teammates, coaches, and their competitors – and they have fun!
