The point is to introduce STEM topics to young children so that it will spark an interest that they might explore later in their academic careers.

How is that done?

FIRST LEGO League (FLL), for students ages 9 to 14, challenges teams with a real-world scientific problem of global importance.

Using LEGO Mindstorms technology, teams build a robot capable of completing multiple tasks on a three-dimensional playing field. FLL encourages kids to think like scientists and engineers, while providing a fun, creative, hands-on and team-based learning experience

Guided by a team coach and assisted by mentors, teams of up to 10 students:

Research and solve a real-world problem based on the Challenge theme.
Present their research and solutions to judges at competition.
Build an autonomous robot using engineering concepts
