FIRST® LEGO® League Season Challenges

Every year, FIRST® LEGO® League releases a new Challenge based on a real-world, scientific theme.
Starting with Discover, children are introduced to the fundamentals of STEM while working together to solve fun challenges and building models using LEGO® DUPLO® bricks.

As participants progress into Explore, children will take their background knowledge of STEM and put it into practice as they work in teams to design and build robots using the LEGO® Education SPIKE Essential.
Once they are ready to move into a competitive setting, they join Challenge and apply their STEM skills combined with critical thinking to work with a team, build a robot, and compete in an exciting, mission-based robotics game.

Welcome to the MASTERPIECE℠ Season

FIRST® LEGO® League Senior Director Kim Wierman, Global Head of Competitions at LEGO Education Camilla Bottke, and SVP & GM of Compute and Gaming at Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. Kedar Kondap share insights and inspiration as they welcome you to the MASTERPIECE season.
