Every year, teams of up to 10 students build, program and compete with a robot, while also learning about a modern problem in science and engineering and developing solutions for it. The entire competition for the year is based around one of these themes: Past themes include natural disasters, senior citizens, food health & safety, climate change, medical science, and nanotechnology. Tournaments are run with the feel of a sporting event, and teams compete like crazy while having the time of their lives. What FIRST® LEGO® League teams accomplish is nothing short of amazing. And the skills they learn will last a lifetime. FIRST® LEGO® League is a multi-part competition judged on three important elements: Teams design, build and program a LEGO® robot to complete a series of challenges.
The robot has to operate on pre-programmed instructions, and complete as many tasks as possible in only 2 minutes and 30 seconds. The challenge changes every year, and is always based on the year’s central theme. The 2013 game, Nature’s Fury, was based on natural disasters and robots had to clear branches of power lines, raise flood warning signs, and more. Teams compete on adjacent tables to score as many points as possible, and a number of awards are given for robot performance, programming innovation and clever design. Every year, teams study the year’s theme and develop solutions to problems they’ve identified in society. Through the project, teams learn more about the competition theme and present their ideas to a panel of judges. Working on the project teaches students to research, think critically, work as a team and speak publicly. The project shows students they have the power to change the world, as teams can share successful ideas with their community, their school, their families, even all of Australia and the world.
The international FIRST® LEGO® League Global Innovation Award provides teams with a way to share their solution with the entire global FIRST community. Throughout the competition, teams are judged on their adherence to the FIRST® LEGO® League core values, including teamwork, Coopertition®, and Gracious Professionalism®. This aspect of FIRST® LEGO® League is designed to develop the students of today into the responsible citizens of tomorrow. Good examples of Core Values are observed and recognised with awards and trophies. Through this celebration of good qualities, FIRST® LEGO® League seeks to make students into better competitors, citizens, problem-solvers and engineers. FIRST® LEGO® League is an incredibly rewarding program for young students, and teams can come from schools, social groups, community groups, homes, church groups, etc. If you want to start a team, there are a few things you’ll need: *Please note that the LEGO Mindstorms Robotics Kit is not a part of the yearly FIRST LEGO League game kit and must be purchased separately from an authorized retailer.

Not only does it allow LEGO fans to develop their creativity and problem-solving skills, it can also offer an escape into a whole new world. Building worlds with LEGO can mean escaping into the far-flung reaches of outer space with Star Wars, seeking out the darkest corners of Gotham City with Batman, or discovering the magical realm of Hogwarts with Harry Potter. The possibilities are almost endless – and the promise of each new world is defined and limited only by the LEGO constructor’s imagination. In creating these worlds, lovers of LEGO not only have the enjoyment of building and constructing, they also have something tangible that they have created, something that they can be proud of once the project is finished.
