Our Impact

Junior FIRST® LEGO® League was introduced as a pilot experience for young children during the 2004-2005 FIRST® LEGO® League season. Now an official FIRST program, Jr.FLL® has made tremendous progress. 

Jr.FLL helps to shape a positive perception of science and technology for children. Children’s natural curiosity and creativity are critical qualities for envisioning possibilities and developing innovative solutions to challenging technology problems. We therefore strive to strengthen their inherent motivation to learn in new ways.

 

Here’s what people are saying about Jr.FLL:

Educators
“The program helps develop science, technology, engineering, and math skills in students.”
- Karen Cheser, Elementary Director of Teaching and Learning, Ohio

“Students see it as a club, but we look at it as an extension of the school day, because it teaches fundamental science concepts, it encourages teamwork, and builds social skills.”
- Jackie Fortner
