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) Â is an international robotics competition. Teams work together to design, build, and program a LEGO robot to tackle themed challenges on a dynamic playing field.Â
Beyond robotics, team members research and develop innovative solutions to real-world problems, building critical thinking, teamwork, and leadership skills along the way.
TSP & Lauremont School Collaboration
For the 2026-2027 school year, The STEAM Project is running an exclusive FLL robotics team composed of Grade 7-8 students from Lauremont Upper School.
The team meets weekly at our state-of-the-art makerspace on Edward Ave, giving students premium access to high-tech tools, dedicated mentors, and a full-scale practice arena.

Team History & Wins
Built to Win. Built to Grow.
At The STEAM Project, we are incredibly proud of how our students come together to form championship teams. Their dedication shines through in our recent tournament results. At the Scarborough David & Mary Thomson Qualifying Tournament, our team was honored on the competitive stage with The Core Values Award!
Beyond the Trophies
While we love seeing their hard work recognized on the competitive stage, trophies are never our only goal. Competitive robotics is a journey of trial, error, and overcoming setbacks. We encourage students to embrace failure as a natural, valuable part of the engineering process. Ultimately, we are here to help them build the resilience, teamwork, and problem-solving confidence they will carry with them long after the competition ends.
Program Outcomes & Skills
Robotics & Coding
Students dive into hands-on learning as they program their robot for the competition field. They gain direct experience configuring intelligent hubs, sensors, and LEGO SPIKE Prime motors to execute precise missions.
Engineering & STEAM Design
Team members apply practical STEAM concepts to master the real-world engineering cycle. They will design, build, test, and continuously refine physical robot attachments to solve complex field challenges.
The Innovation Project
Beyond the robot, students research a real-world ocean issue, develop an original solution, and present their ideas to the community, building immense public speaking and academic confidence.
Resilience & Teamwork
By working through design failures together under the guidance of our elite mentors, students build a growth mindset and project management skills that last a lifetime.
Discover biodiversity and protect our ecosystems as you code, design, and build to solve challenges during this year’s BIOGLOW season!
HOW TO JOIN
Frequently Asked Questions
Not at all. We welcome students of all skill levels. Whether your child is completely new to STEM or already loves to tinker, our mentors guide them step by step. The team requires diverse talents, including builders, programmers, researchers, and designers, so every student will find a role where they can thrive.
For safety reasons, you will also need to wear closed-toe shoes when working in our Makerspace.
For the first week of the program, a staff member from Lauremont School will safely walk students directly to our Edward Ave Makerspace right after school. After the first week, students will walk to the makerspace independently. Parents/guardians will only need to arrange pickup at the end of the session.
None. We provide all the specialized equipment, including the LEGO SPIKE Prime motors, intelligent hubs, sensors, laptops, software, and seasonal challenge kits. Your child just needs to bring their curiosity, creativity, and a willingness to learn.
