Each season, teams from all over the world participate in all three aspects of FLL: the Robot Game, the Research Project, and the FLL Core Values that focus on teamwork, good sportsmanship, and friendly competition. This season, over 33,000 teams participated worldwide!

In FLL, students are immersed in real-world science and technology challenges. Teams come up with an innovative solution to a current scientific question or problem selected by FLL and also build an autonomous LEGO^® robot that performs a series of missions. By participating in FLL, students develop valuable life skills and discover exciting STEM career possibilities while learning that they can make a positive contribution to a team and to society.
