The FIRST® LEGO® League Challenge is an international STEAM education program in which participants compete in robotics competitions and engage in investigative learning about social issues in groups.
"STEAM, exploration, and presentations - the experience of learning with their peers through LEGO will open up children's futures." - Takahiro Kondo
This curriculum consists of 12 90-minute sessions (classes). The length and number of sessions can be changed to suit the needs of the school or organization. When participating in the regional tournament held every December, it is necessary to set aside time to concentrate and practice before the tournament.
