Rhode Island School of the Future

FIRST® LEGO® League

An international competition for elementary and middle school students (ages 9–14) designed to get children interested in and excited about science, technology and engineering. Every year, FIRST releases a new challenge that engages the FIRST LEGO League teams in hands-on robotics design and scientific research.

Robot Block Party
