FIRST\u00ae LEGO\u00ae League Explore. is an international engineering and computing programme \u2013 run in the UK by the IET (Institution of Engineering and Technology), based around teamwork, problem-solving and fun!<\/h6>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

Groups of up to six 6-9-year-olds research a project based on a theme supplied by the IET, to identify potential real-world problems, design a solution and build a LEGO\u00ae model to demonstrate the solution. Projects are typically worked on during school LEGO\u00ae clubs, Scouting\/Guiding groups or with friends\/family outside of school hours over a 6-8 week period, culminating at our presentation day.<\/p>\n

The 2023-2024 season is called MASTERPIECE and registration for Class Packs is open now and Team Registration opening in January<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Technology<\/h3>\n

At the LEGO\u00ae model core, the teams use LEGO\u00ae WeDo 2.0 components that help develop children\u2019s programming skills through a computer or tablet-based drag-and-drop programming language.<\/p>\n

Show-me poster<\/h3>\n

Teams are encouraged to create a show-me poster that illustrates the different aspects of the journey of their projects and their thinking behind it. These can be any size from flat A3 sheets to full self-standing cardboard boards, be creative and bring them along to the Expo presentation day.<\/p>\n

FLL Explore Presentation day<\/h3>\n

On the day of the FLL Explore Presentation day, teams come together to present their projects to a panel of reviewers to demonstrate their efforts working as a team and sharing their progress.<\/p>\n

There is no right or wrong way to construct the LEGO\u00ae model and it is not a competition.<\/p>\n

Please note: <\/strong>This event is only open to registered teams and their families. No general public spectating is permitted.<\/p>\n

Everyone’s a winner!<\/h3>\n

Awards are given to all teams based on various categories so every STEM adventurer that takes part goes home a winner!<\/p>\n

Costs<\/h3>\n

Every FLL Explore team will need the LEGO\u00ae Education WeDo 2.0s or LEGO\u00ae SPIKE Essential\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Registration costs are paid directly to the IET who will send out your set for the current season along with materials for the team.<\/p>\n

If you already have the WeDo 2.0 or LEGO\u00ae SPIKE\u00a0then you are good to go, you can use the kit year-on-year for future expos or your own projects.<\/p>\n
