Philosophy of FIRST LEGO League

 

FIRST LEGO League is dedicated to providing opportunities for children to work together and use technology to solve unusual and stimulating problems. We believe that the creativity, persistence, learned skills, and cooperation needed to complete the FLL challenge will empower students to be more successful problem solvers in their own lives and in future problem solving situations.

The full benefits of FLL occur ONLY when the kids can feel the sense of accomplishment that comes from knowing that the solution they created was100% from their own minds and hands.  This feeling of empowerment and accomplishment is what FLL is really all about. We are committed to the idea that all students who participate in FLL are winners! We strive to make the training, problem-solving and tournaments as child-centered and nurturing as possible.  Sportsmanship, cooperation, collaboration and risk-taking are valued as part of the problem solving experience.
