"FIRST® LEGO® League introduces science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) to children ages 4-16 through fun, exciting hands-on learning. Participants gain real-world problem solving experience through a guided, global robotics program, helping today's young people and teachers build a better future together. Our three divisions inspire young people to experiment and grow their critical thinking, coding, and design skills through hands-on STEM learning and robotics."

Enterprise FabLab use LEGO and other building materials as a means of prototyping and creating various projects, particularly in the areas of robotics and engineering.
FLL was particularly helpful in FabLabs as it is a versatile and widely available building material that can be used to quickly create and prototype ideas. We launch the First LEGO League as a great tool for teaching programming and coding in the schools and allows for the creation of robots that can be programmed to perform various tasks.
The impact of FLL in the schools that we partnered was significant. By providing a fun and engaging platform for learning, they increased interest in STEM subjects in their students. Additionally, the collaborative nature of FabLabs fostered a sense of community and encourage the exchange of knowledge and skills. By promoting creativity, problem-solving, and collaboration, FIRST LEGO LEAGUE and Enterprise FabLab helped to create a more innovative and connected community.
STEAM Education & outreach is fundamental to the FabLab project and seeks to invite, young and old, to explore, engage and upskill in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths. By involving people as early as possible in STEAM we can inspire future generations to develop the competences needed to thrive and shape our ever-changing world and to spark excitement and enthusiasm in STEAM careers in the North East.
