FIRST Lego League

FIRST LEGO League is the most accessible, guided, global robotics competition, helping students and teachers to build a better future together. The program is built around theme-based Challenges to engage children in grades 4-6* in research, problem solving, coding, and engineering. The foundation of the program is the FIRST Core Values, which emphasize teamwork, discovery, and innovation. Students emerge more confident, excited, and equipped with the skills they need in a changing workforce.

FIRST® LEGO® League introduces young people in grades 4-6* to the fun and excitement of science and technology, while building self-confidence, knowledge, and valuable career and life skills. The program challenges students to think like scientists and engineers. Alongside adult coaches and mentors, teams solve problems and learn engineering concepts, presentation techniques and programming. FIRST LEGO League was created through a partnership between FIRST® (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) and the LEGO® Group. *Ages vary by country

Children:

  • Learn teamwork skills
  • Research challenges facing today’s scientists
  • Design, build, and program autonomous robots

Robotics Teams for Grandville 4th through 6th Graders!

The Grandville robotics program is excited to offer Lego League for students from 4th through 6th grade.  This year, students from each Grandville elementary school are invited to take part in the “SUPERPOWERED” challenge.

Our FLL teams are fun!  You will be teamed up with classmates from your elementary school and then: 

In the Robot Game, your team will:

  • Identify Missions to solve
  • Design, build and program a LEGO robot to complete the missions
  • Test and refine their program and design

Your Robot will have to navigate, capture, transport, activate, or deliver objects. You and your Robot will only have 2½ minutes to complete as many Missions as possible. So, be creative!

The the Innovation Project, your team will:

  • Identify a problem with a building or public space in your community
  • Design a solution.
  • Share your solution with others and then refine it.

At the Regional tournament, the 3rd Saturday in November, your team will present your Project, including the problem, your solution, and how you shared it, in a 5-minute presentation and also compete in the Robot Game with your robot.

To register your student in Grades 4, 5 and 6 for VEX IQ or Lego League, visit the Grandville Robotics Facebook page in August.  Registration closes in early September.

In this year’s FIRST LEGO League Discover season,  SUPERPOWERED, students will explore where energy comes from and how it is distributed, stored, and used – and then put their superpowered creativity to work to innovate for a better energy future.
