FIRST LEGO League is a collaboration between FIRST and LEGO Education. In 1998, FIRST Founder Dean Kamen and the owner of LEGO Group Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen joined forces to create FIRST LEGO League, a powerful programme that engages children in playful and meaningful learning while helping them discover the fun in science and technology through the FIRST LEGO League experience. Dean and Kjeld have a shared belief that FIRST LEGO League inspires teams to research, build, and experiment, and by doing so, they live the entire process of creating ideas, solving problems, and overcoming obstacles, while gaining confidence in their abilities to positively use technology. The programme originated in the USA, and now is delivered in 110 countries globally.
