In the Explore division of FIRST LEGO League, small teams of students ages 6-10 focus on the fundamentals of engineering as they explore real-world problems, learn to design, and code, and create unique solutions made with LEGO bricks and powered by LEGO^® Spike or WeDo equipment.

Each year in August, FIRST LEGO League Explore releases a new Challenge for teams that focuses on a scientific topic. Teams are sent on a journey of discovery to learn all they can about the topic, then present their findings in the form of a team poster and a LEGO model that moves. You may recruit 2 to 6 interested team members. A coach is allowed to coach multiple teams. Each team must have at least 2 adult coaches. Once you have a team (you do not need all team member names yet), you may register.

The FIRST LEGO League Explore season ends with a Festival, where students showcase their team models and posters and share what they’ve learned. Playing At Learning organizes official Festivals throughout our region that offer teams an opportunity to share and learn from one another.
