FIRST® LEGO® League Explore Overview

During the 2023-2024 FIRST season, FIRST® IN SHOWSM presented by Qualcomm, the future is yours to create! The FIRST LEGO League challenge is called MASTERPIECES. Children will learn about the role science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) plays in the arts and will imagine and innovate new ways to create and communicate art across the globe. NSBE Jr. FIRST® LEGO® League Explore competition teams will be invited to compete and participate in all FIRST LEGO League events and activities held locally. It is through the local events by which a team would be eligible to advance to the World Festival. NSBE Jr FIRST LEGO League teams will also be invited to attend and participate at Annual Convention.


IMPORTANT UPDATE: NSBE IS NO LONGER A FLL REGION. EACH TEAM MUST SELECT A LOCAL REGION AND COMPETE WITHIN THAT GROUP TO HOPEFULLY QUALIFY FOR FIRST's WORLD FESTIVAL. NSBE'S ANNUAL CONVENTION IS NO LONGER A QUALIFIER!
