What is the First LEGO League Competition?
FLL is an exciting robotics challenge where teams:

🔹 Develop an innovative project based on the annual theme: New Challenge Theme: Every year, FIRST LEGO League introduces a new challenge based on a real-world scientific theme. As part of the competition, teams must research this theme, identify a problem, develop an innovative solution, and present their findings to judges. This Innovation Project encourages creativity, problem-solving, and real-world application of STEM skills.
🔹 Present their research & solution to judges
🔹 Demonstrate teamwork & core values throughout the season
