GLOBAL INNOVATION AWARD

     The FIRST® LEGO League Challenge Global Innovation Award (GIA) is a competition designed to showcase the real-world, innovative solutions that FIRST LEGO League teams create as a result of their Innovations Projects.
     FIRST LEGO League trains kids to think like innovators. The GIA encourages and assists teams to further develop solutions to real-world problems that demonstrate originality and have the potential to add significant value to the world.
     For many teams, their innovative solutions created through the FIRST LEGO League Innovation Project have led to some amazing opportunities, like receiving local and national media attention, meeting government leaders, and seeing their invention be brought to market. For some, their inventions have changed lives.  Want to know more?  Find additional information here.
