Hardest Fun Ever
The FIRST LEGO League® (FLL) introduces young people ages 9 to 14 to the fun and excitement of science and technology while building self-confidence, knowledge and life skills. The FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) is a mid-level robotics competition for middle and high-school students. It offers the traditional challenge of a FIRST competition but with more accessible and affordable robotics. The FIRST® Robotics Competition (FRC) is an exciting, multinational competition that teams professionals and high-school students to solve an engineering design problem in an intense and competitive way.
