New participants welcome.  For ages 9-14. 
Ages 7-8 may begin in the off-season starting in January 2024.


Our FLL LEGO Robotics league team is for ages 9-14. The 2023 First Lego League (FLL) LEGO Robotics league tournament season begins at KICK-OFF on August 21, 2023. There is a new challenge each season - it is focused on a new topic each year and ends with a local and state competitions in November.  

***Please note, that although this is called LEGO Robotics, it is less about building with LEGOs and has more to do with programming your robot. If you are interested in building LEGO structures, consider signing up for our LEGO summer camp or our LEGO architecture workshop!***

Coding with LEGOS  Pre-FLL Robotics (WEDO)
This coding unit is designed to engage and motivate elementary students’ interest in learning science- and engineering-related subjects. This is done through the use of motorized LEGO models and simple programming.  WeDo 2.0 supports a “hands-on, minds on” learning solution that gives students the confidence to ask questions and the tools to find the answers and to solve real-life problems. Students learn by asking questions, solving problems, testing their designs, and making improvements to their designs. 

Grades: 2-4
Thursdays 6:30-7:30pm
Register through Kenan Center
