About This Activity
FIRST is a not-for-profit organization that encourages kids to explore science and technology through collaboration with mentors and teammates. In the spirit of FIRST’s mission and values, our programs focus on building self-confidence and STEM skills by providing kids with an inclusive and respectful environment. FIRST LEGO League: Challenge is designed for students in 4th-8th grade. This program will be offered continually through the 2021-2022 season, beginning in mid-October and concluding in early April. Each segment will build upon the prior knowledge of the students in that class. Student teams will investigate real-world challenges and learn about how scientists are tackling them. After exploring the many ways science can be used to solve these problems, students build and program a motorized LEGO EV3 that must navigate a challenge mat while successfully completing various tasks and present their final research project to a panel of judges. This year's theme asks students to reimagine our global transportation system and the transporting, sorting, and delivery of cargo across the world!
