FIRST® LEGO® League introduces science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) to children ages 4-14 through fun, exciting hands-on learning. FIRST LEGO League participants gain real-world problem-solving experiences through a guided, global robotics program, helping today’s students and teachers build a better future together. In FIRST LEGO League, students engage in hands-on STEM experiences, building confidence, growing their knowledge, and developing habits of learning. FIRST LEGO League’s three divisions, CHALLENGE, EXPLORE and DISCOVER, inspire young children to experiment and grow their critical thinking, coding, and design skills through hands-on STEM learning and robotics.

Core values
FIRST Core Values
To further unify the mission of FIRST and create consistency as students progress through our programs, we’ve created a cross-program set of values that represents the FIRST experience and the FIRST community.
To further unify the mission of FIRST and create consistency as students progress through our programs, we’ve created a cross-program set of values that represents the FIRST experience and the FIRST community.
We express the FIRST philosophies of Gracious Professionalism® and Coopertition® through our Core Values:
- Discovery: We explore new skills and ideas.
- Innovation: We use creativity and persistence to solve problems.
- Impact: We apply what we learn to improve our world.
- Inclusion: We respect each other and embrace our differences.
- Teamwork: We are stronger when we work together.
- Fun: We enjoy and celebrate what we do!
The FIRST LEGO League Core Values are the cornerstones of the program.
They are among the fundamental elements that distinguish FIRST LEGO League from other programs of its kind. By embracing the Core Values, participants learn that friendly competition and mutual gain are not separate goals, and that helping one another is the foundation of teamwork.
