It also has drag-and-drop programming interface for children to write robotics programs. In 2009, with the new robotics kit by LEGO Group, the program included LEGO WeDo as an optional kit which allows children to connect a motor and/or a sensor to other LEGO bricks, gears and other TECHNIC elements. Base Kit that contains many LEGO elements including gears, motor, and other TECHNIC elements. FIRST has provided an option to purchase a FIRST LEGO League Jr. The only requirements to build models out of LEGO elements were to have some moving parts and include at least one simple machine based on a given topic of that year. The program was officially launched in 2007 during the Power Puzzle season.ĭuring the first five years, the program was not referred as a robotic program. The pilot years were done in three phases from 2004 to 2006.
Teams now use any LEGO elements that they have to build the models. In the first pilot year, the teams were provided with some specific LEGO parts by FIRST, but that idea was dropped in later years. History įIRST LEGO League Explore started out as a pilot program in 2004 to encourage young children to have interest in science and engineering. They may also use LEGO WeDo, a programmable robotics kit, as part of their models.Ĭurrently, the program is available in 33 countries.
While FIRST LEGO League Challenge teams conduct research projects and design autonomous robots specifically to carry out missions relating to the topic, FIRST LEGO League Explore teams conduct much smaller projects and make models out of LEGO elements to illustrate one part of the theme. įIRST LEGO League Explore follows the same theme given to the FIRST LEGO League Challenge. It is one of the programs established by FIRST. FIRST LEGO League Explore Current season, competition or edition:įIRST LEGO League Explore ( FLLE) (formerly known as FIRST LEGO League Jr.) is a non-competitive robotics program designed for children ages six to ten.
