LEGO League Challenge (ages 9+)

FIRST® LEGO® League introduces STEM (science, technology, engineering, and maths) to children through fun, exciting hands-on learning. The theme of this year's FIRST® LEGO® League is Unearthed.

Friendly competition is at the heart of the LEGO® League Challenge, as teams of students aged 9-16 engage in research, problem-solving, coding, and engineering - building and programming a LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Prime robot that navigates the missions of a robot game. Pupils also participate in a research project to identify and solve a relevant real-world problem. 

We are excited to be running a Lego League tournament for schools in York in collaboration with our sponsor ETAS, who will fund the registration of your team. We are able to provide an introductory session, delivered at your school, to introduce members of your group to the programme. We can also support your afterschool club with student ambassadors from the University.

If you are interested in getting involved, please complete the registration form and we will be in touch.
