Season Calendar
The FIRST LEGO League season runs from August to December. We recommend a minimum of 16 x 2-hour robotics meetings to get your team ready for competing at a tournament.

The Competition
Competition? Yes! That’s what makes it fun.
Youth on our teams learn to strategize, design, and program a robot to compete in fast-paced robotics matches.
Tournaments are from late November to December, as nearby as Waterloo.
What to Teach
Don’t have any robot or LEGO experience? Perfect, mentors and coaches don’t need any experience!
FIRST provides a set of complete season meeting materials for coaches and students, including tutorials and plans to have a succesful season.

Here for you every step of the way
