The Event Experience

Find An Event
FIRST Championship

At FIRST LEGO League events, students showcase their new skills while:

  • sharing ideas,
  • creatively solving problems,
  • interacting with new technology,
  • having fun,
  • and making new friends.

Official FIRST events in your area may be offered in traditional or remote formats. The remote event experience will be as close as possible to a traditional event for teams and volunteers, with the necessary modifications to accommodate a remote environment.

FIRST Program Delivery Partners are your local program contacts and manage the events in your area. Event formats and timing for the 2024-2025 season will be determined by your Program Delivery Partner. Some partners may charge an additional event fee, which is not included in team registration.
