Internationally-Recognised

FIRST LEGO League is an internationally recognized STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) organised by FIRST and The LEGO Group for children and students. In a competition based setting, students use LEGO Education robotics sets to develop robots and compete against each other in a competition which exposes students to real world problem solving, STEAM and character development.

Real-World Challenges faced in Industries

Each season starts in August and ends in April the next year. FIRST determines a real-world theme for the year around which the competition revolves and the challenges based on. 

Recommended for Portfolio Building

Certificates of participation & Awards from FLL are internationally recognized and good to have in the portfolio for Direct School Admission (DSA) or Scholarship applications.

FIRST® LEGO® League Explore: 6 - 9 years old

FIRST® LEGO® League Challenge: 9 - 16 years old

FLL Explore (Ages 6-9)

FIRST LEGO League Explore (FLLE) (formerly known as FIRST Lego League Jr.) is a non-competitive robotics program designed for children ages 6-9. It is one of the programs established by FIRST.

FIRST LEGO League Explore follows the same theme given to the FIRST LEGO League Challenge. While FIRST LEGO League Challenge teams conduct research projects and design autonomous robots specifically to carry out missions relating to the topic, FIRST LEGO League Explore teams conduct much smaller projects and make robotics models out of LEGO Education SPIKE Essential, the latest robotics set by LEGO Education to illustrate one part of the theme. 

Each team will have a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 5 participants.
Recommended 2 pax/team due to Safety Measurement Restrictions.

FLL Challenge (Ages 9-16)

The FIRST LEGO League Challenge (formerly known as FIRST LEGO League) is an international competition organized by FIRST for elementary and middle school students (ages 9–14 in the United States and Canada, 9–16 elsewhere).Each year in August, FIRST LEGO League Challenge teams are introduced to a scientific and real-world challenge for teams to focus and research on. The robotics part of the competition involves designing and programming LEGO Education Robotics Sets (SPIKE Prime, EV3, NXT)  to complete tasks. The students work out a solution to a problem related to the theme (changes every year) and then meet for regional, national and international tournaments to compete, share their knowledge, compare ideas, and display their robots.

Each team will have a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 5 participants.
Recommended 2 pax/team due to Safety Measurement Restrictions.

Robotics Bootcamp for FLL Challenge

FAQ

Q: How does the bootcamp differ from competition training?

A: The bootcamp offers a personalized learning experience with a trainer-to-student ratio of up to 1:15. This allows for more focused instruction and hands-on engagement.

Q: I've previously enrolled my children in classes. Can they participate in this bootcamp?

A: Unfortunately, this bootcamp is exclusively available for NEW sign-ups. We want to provide this opportunity to as many new participants as possible.

Q: What if my children have no prior experience in robotics? Can they still enroll?

A: Absolutely! The bootcamp is suitable for beginners, and we welcome students with no previous robotics experience. It's an excellent starting point for young enthusiasts.

Q: My children are 7 and 8 years old. Can they join the bootcamp?

A: The bootcamp is designed for FLL Challenge teams, which typically include students aged 9 to 16 as of January 2024. Your children may be better suited for other programs tailored to their age group.

 Q: Where is your classes held at? 

A: Our classes are held at 240 MacPherson Rd, Singapore 348574 #03-01

Q: What if my children are unable to attend on certain dates? Will there be make-up lessons available?

A: Unfortunately, the class schedule and dates are fixed, and we cannot guarantee availability for make-up classes due to high demand.

Q: How does the bootcamp differ from regular competition training programs?

A: The bootcamp offers a unique opportunity for students to learn and collaborate with other teams, fostering a sense of community. Additionally, it is a more cost-effective option, and students receive a complimentary t-shirt as part of the program.
