The FIRST Lego League Challenge is an international competition organized by FIRST for elementary and middle school students. FIRST Lego League introduces science, technology, engineering and math to children ages 4 to 16 through hands-on learning. Participants gain real-world problem solving experience through a guided, global robotics program, helping today's students and teachers build a better future together.
Joppatowne fourth and fifth graders will be engaging in researching, problem-solving, building and programming their very own Lego robot to conquer epic missions in a robotics game.
