FIRST LEGO LEAGUE JR.
Through exploratory research, hands-on construction, teamwork, imagination, and fun with LEGO elements, FIRST® LEGO® League Jr. challenges teams of up to six kids to explore a real-world scientific concept, then build a motorized model and develop a Show Me Poster to illustrate their journey of discovery. Throughout the season, adult coaches provide guidance and inspiration.
THIS YEAR’S STAR WARS-INSPIRED CHALLENGE
BOOMTOWN BUILD
This year’s game is part of the 2020 FIRST season, FIRST RISE, powered by Star Wars: Force for Change.
In BOOMTOWN BUILD, teams will explore the growing needs and challenges of the people in our community. Teams will help to imagine and create a building that solves a problem and makes life easier, happier, or more connected for the people that use it. Students will use their imagination and LEGO® Education WeDo 2.0 to design and program their Boomtown Build. They’ll keep track of what they are learn in their Engineering Notebook, and tell about it in a Show Me poster.
