FIRST LEGO League is an international robotics competition for kids age 9-14 (up to age 16 outside the US) that focuses on teamwork, friendship, creativity and innovation. Having spoken with numorous teams over the past two years, I can tell you that this is an activity that kids really dig into - both boys and girls alike. Get your kids involved, volunteer to mentor a team, or show your support and be a sponsor. In some areas of the country, there are more kids who want to be involved than there are coaches or kits. The LEGO MINDSTORMS kits are just a few hundred dollars - and teams also need financial support to get to the World Festival. Support our future scientists and engineers!
