FIRST Lego League
The FIRST Lego League is an international competition for elementary and middle school students. Each year the contest focuses on a different real-world topic related to the sciences. Each challenge within the competition then revolves around that theme. The robotics part of the competition involves around designing and programming Lego robots to complete many tasks. The students work out solutions to the various problems they are given and then meet for regional tournaments to share their knowledge, compare ideas, and display their robots.Below is a collection of training resources for learning about the technical and administrative parts of FIRST Lego League.
