FIRST LEGO League is an international competition for elementary and middle school students. Join an Einstein’s Workshop FLL team for the first half of the school year to participate in a robotics competition where you design and program robots to complete missions on an obstacle course related to this year’s theme. Teams are also given a real-world challenge to research. Teams present their solutions at a regional tournament where they compete, share their knowledge, compare ideas, and display their robots. Some teams are invited to participate in state, national, or international competitions. The FLL season culminates in an all-day Saturday regional competition in December and can go longer if the team advances beyond the regional competition. For teams that don’t advance, we use the final few weeks of the session to teach advanced robotics programming techniques that will serve the kids well in future FLL competitions. Einstein’s Workshop covers FLL team registration fee, competition entry fee, access to the competition game board, and all robotics pieces necessary to compete for its teams. If teams advance beyond the state competition, parents will be asked to cover additional expenses (travel, registration fees, etc.). 
Prerequisite:  
Students must have taken our FLL Robotics Skills or Advanced LEGO Robotics class or previously participated on an FLL Challenge team to join an Einstein’s Workshop FLL team. Our FLL Skills class is offered in Quarter 3, during February and April vacation camps, and several times during the summer.

FLL team meetings take place during Quarters 1 and 2, from September 14 – January 19.
