FLL stands for FIRST LEGO League, which is an international robotics program for kids that focuses on introducing kids to STEM concepts by engaging in hands-on experiences, project-based learning, and working in collaboration with other kids. FLL is a part of various robotics competitions organized by a non-profit organization known as FIRST, which also offers other competitions for different ages of kids.
The main objective of FLL is to enable kids to learn by experimenting, designing, making, testing, and improving. In FLL competitions, kids work in teams to create robots that can carry out tasks on a game field or a competition field. This allows kids to experience an engineering design process in which they can design, identify problems, and optimize.
FLL has two parts: the robot game and the Innovation Project (research). The Innovation Project helps the student to identify an issue occurring in the real world related to the season’s theme, research the possible solutions, and propose the new solution. This helps the student to develop skills such as thinking critically, communicating effectively, and creativity, which are important in engineering and leadership fields.
FLL focuses on teamwork and values, and FIRST promotes Gracious Professionalism and Coopertition, which help the student to cooperate with other people (learn from other people) while competing with other teams. These values help the student to develop confidence and communication skills while working in teams.
FIRST LEGO League is a great way to get into the world of robotics because it is a great way to get a technical education, as well as the chance to work in a team and present in front of others. It is a great way to get hands-on experience on how STEM is related to everyday life, using the engineered design process, as well as research-based problems.
