About ThE Program
What is FLL?
Want to be a part of a global community of student inventors, programmers, and engineers? Join our FIRST Lego League Robotics Team!
The FIRST Lego League (FLL) is an international robotics competition for students. Teams work together to design, build, and program a LEGO robot to tackle themed challenges on a dynamic playing field. In addition to robotics, teams also research and develop innovative solutions to real-world problems- all while building teamwork, critical thinking, and creativity.
In the 2025-2026 school year, the STEAM Project will be running a FLL robotics team composed of Grade 5-8 students. This team will have a weekly meeting at The STEAM Project’s state-of-the-art makerspace, where they will have access to tools, tech, mentors, and a practice arena!
Skills to Explore
Students will be introduced to the components and systems used to build and program their LEGO robot, including LEGO SPIKE Prime motors, sensors, and intelligent hub. They will gain hands-on experience with the engineering design process—prototyping, testing, and refining their robot to complete this season’s FIRST LEGO League Challenge missions.
2025-2026 Theme
2025-2026’s FLL theme is Unearthed, where teams will use their STEM and collaboration skills to explore an archaeology-inspired robotics challenge. Join us to code, design, and build robots to uncover ancient artifacts and solve challenges.
Our team welcomes students of all skill levels, willing to learn and share their skills. Join us on our build team, programmer, speaking representative, or designer!
