FIRST LEGO® League (FLL) is one of four competitive levels designed by FIRST, using LEGO® Mindstorms EV3 robotics kits as its platform. Aimed at an international audience of students ages 9 through 14, this competition teaches real-world problem solving through engineering design and teamwork. Beyond the events, FLL also works closely with schools and other youth-based organizations to transform the perception of science and technology—inspiring kids who might not otherwise have found a love for these fields to pursue further studies and career paths in science and technology.
