Curious kids, real-world problems, LEGO® bricks

FIRST® LEGO® League Explore is for students in grades 2-4. Teams pick a real-world problem tied to the season theme, then design, build and code a model with the LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Essential set and tell their story on a team poster. There is no score and no losing: every team is celebrated.
