FIRST Lego League (FLL) is an annual robotics competition in which teams of 2-10 students build a robot, solve engineering challenges, and learn in a friendly competition. FLL has different divisions for ages 4-6, 6-10, and 9-16+.

On Saturday, October 9 at 7:30 pm, there will be a free FLL Info Night hosted by the LigerBots, Newton’s high school robotics team,  to introduce FLL to families with students in ages 4-16 who may be interested in STEM and/or robotics. Parents, guardians, students, and potential mentors can learn about how the FLL competition and season run, what is required to participate, and what students can gain from the experience.

Several students on the LigerBots started out participating in FLL. A few of the speakers will be past FLL participants, ready to share experiences and answer questions. Many of the high schoolers would love to help guide and mentor younger students using what they have learned in FLL and with the LigerBots.
