Imaginative thinking and teamwork build tomorrow’s innovators
Prepare at IMA to compete in the 32nd season of First LEGO League as a team.
With adult Coaches to guide them, FIRST LEGO League teams apply science, engineering, and math concepts, plus a big dose of imagination, to develop solutions to real-world challenges. They also design, build, and program LEGO MINDSTORMS®-based robots to perform autonomous “missions” on a playing field. Along the way, they develop critical thinking, team-building, and presentation skills.
2020/2021 Challenge TeaserProven, verifiable impact!
The positive impact League has on participants is gratifying and well documented. Over 88% are more interested in doing well in school, and 87% have more interest in attending college.
