FIRST Lego League: Explore

FIRST LEGO League Explore is a hands-on program designed to inspire, excite, and introduce kids in grades 2-4 to the wonders of science, technology, and engineering in teams of up to six children. This program features a real-world challenge explored through research, critical thinking, and imagination. Guided by adult coaches and the FIRST Core Values, team members work with LEGO elements and motorized parts to build ideas and concepts and present them for review. FIRST LEGO League Explore:

• Teaches the benefits of teamwork

• Sparks initial interest in science and technology

• Introduces basic design skills through a hands-on approach with the familiarity and fun of LEGO building; and

• Provides a culture of sharing and learning from others.

The culmination of the hard work for many teams is the participation in a FIRST LEGO League Explore event. Volunteer Reviewers at the event interview teams to learn about their LEGO Model and Show Me poster. All the teams are celebrated and leave with an award.
