FLL is an opportunity to immerse children in the real-world science & technology challenges through a fun-filled exploration journey alongside enhancing their life skills.

Robot Game & Design:
Teams have to design, build & program an autonomous robot using LEGO MINDSTOMRS technology to solve missions on a scientific theme based table-top playing field. Teams get 1-2 rounds of 2.5 minutes each to solve missions on the competition day. Teams must also talk about their design thinking, strategy of solving missions, structural elements of the robot etc. in a 5 minute interview with judging panel.

Teams shall procure the challenge playfield and LEGO MINDSTORMS technology under the value pack section.

Research Project:
Teams have to explore/research a problem aligned with the scientific theme of playing field and analyze existing solutions if any. They need to either identify an improvement to existing solution or develop their own innovative solution for the chosen problem.

They shall share their findings with their friends, neighboring community, corporates who will be interested at such solutions etc.

During the competition day, teams have to display their work (Models, Show Me Posters, and Prototypes etc.) and present it to the judging panel during a 5 minutes interview session.

Core Values :
FIRST LEGO League is unique in a way that it doesn’t only assesses what teams have done (robot game, research project) but it also emphasizes on how they have been able to do it as a team. Teams have to uphold the importance of discovery than winning, honor the spirit of friendly competition, stay together as a team, display Gracious Professionalism & Coopertition and have unlimited FUN!

Teams should always remember the following FLL core values:
** We are a team.
** We do the work to find solutions with guidance from our coaches and mentors.
** We know our coaches and mentors don’t have all the answers; we learn together.
** We honor the spirit of friendly competition.
