What is FIRST® LEGO® League Explore?
FIRST ® LEGO® League Explore for Grades K-4 (ages 6 to 10) is designed to introduce younger children to the fun and excitement of solving problems with science and technology. FIRST LEGO League Explore teams are given a Challenge based on a real-world theme, requiring them to build models and create a Show Me Poster depicting their research journey. Teams are encouraged to gather together to share their projects and experiences with family and friends or at a locally organized Expo. FIRST LEGO League Explore teams receive the Inspire Set – a special LEGO Education kit that will be used by teams to inspire creativity within the Challenge theme – and the Engineering Notebook, which provides a structured experience for teams. |

What is the student impact?
What characterizes the student experience?
FIRST LEGO League Explore is a starting point to exploring the world of science and technology. Every FIRST LEGO League Explore Challenge reflects an important real-world theme to not only bring visibility to it among young children, but also to show students how science and technology can impact the world around them by engaging them in a real-world theme to which they can relate. Teams will learn the fundamentals of design and programming, and how science, technology, engineering, and math impact our everyday lives, while they get excited about future innovations.
