Building Tomorrow One Youth at a Time
In Explore, teams of students ages 6-10 focus on the fundamentals of engineering as they explore real-world problems, learn to design, and code, and create unique solutions made with LEGO bricks and powered by LEGO® Education SPIKE Essential.
Friendly competition is at the heart of Challenge, as teams of students ages 9-16* engage in research, problem-solving, coding, and engineering – building and programming a LEGO robot that navigates the missions of a robot game.
FIRST Tech Challenge students learn to think like engineers. Teams design, build, and code robots to compete in an alliance format against other teams. Robots are built from a reusable platform, powered by Android technology, and can be coded using a variety of levels of Java-based programming.

Our mission is to inspire and empower the next generation of STEM leaders through robotics, fostering curiosity, innovation, and collaboration. We equip young people with critical skills and inspire them to make a positive impact on the world.
"Everybody has to be able to participate in a future that they want to live for. That's what technology can do."
