FIRST® LEGO® League Poland - Challenge

FIRST LEGO League Challenge is a global initiative present in over 100 countries, whose originator is the American inventor Dean Kamen, known for patenting hundreds of inventions. His mission, together with the LEGO Foundation, was to inspire the young generation to STEM sciences and entrepreneurship. The program has been implemented in Poland for a dozen or so years, and each season involves over 120 teams, most of which return in subsequent editions. The use of LEGO bricks makes the program have a low entry threshold, which encourages children to take up an adventure with robotics and technology. FIRST LEGO League graduates often get involved as mentors or judges, passing on their experience to new generations. The initiative builds a strong community in which sharing knowledge and mutual support are the foundation of cooperation. FIRST LEGO League Challenge gives young people wings - it develops technical skills, builds self-confidence and shapes the attitudes of future leaders, inspiring them to take real action for their communities. According to Boston Globe Media, over the past 25 years, one of the four most influential achievements to come out of MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) is the FIRST programs, including the FIRST LEGO League.
