Each participating team receives the Explore set with the base and LEGO® pieces to assemble to build their own motorized model.

Each participating team also has digital materials available. These are the official guide manuals to prepare for the challenge, translated into Italian. In particular, the shared material consists of:

• guide for coaches ( Team Meeting Guide ), with a proposed route divided into work sessions;
• work notebook ( Engineering Notebook ) designed for team members, in which they can note the progress made in the work carried out.

Anyone who purchases a Class Pack also receives the Class Pack Guide , with advice on how to organize an event within the school or institution.

The teams prepare for the event using the material received.

They design, build and program their own motorized model. Additionally, with the help of the Team Meeting Guide and the Engineering Notebook, they research a problem related to the year's theme to develop their own "Show Me Poster" to present to reviewers.

The journey culminates in a day of celebration where you participate in an event with other teams!

To enjoy the party in full FIRST ® spirit it is important to follow the compass of the Core Values : discovery, innovation, impact, inclusion, teamwork and fun.
