FIRST LEGO League, part of the international For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology (FIRST®) movement, is an exciting robotics competition where students ages 9-16 design, build, and program LEGO® robots while developing their research and problem-solving skills.
Led by Curtin University, the WA program currently engages over 15,000 participants across multiple competitions.
