FIRST LEGO League is an international educational program that was launched in 1998 by the American foundation FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) and LEGO. In Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, the program has been organized since 2002 by the non-profit organization HANDS on TECHNOLOGY e.V.

FIRST LEGO League introduces children and young people to STEM subjects through fun, hands-on learning experiences. Participants explore science, technology, engineering, and mathematics while working on creative challenges and robotics projects using LEGO technology.

The different FIRST LEGO League programs support children and students over many years and help them build long-term skills in STEM, teamwork, communication, problem-solving, coding, and design thinking. Together with families, coaches, and educators, participants discover new ideas and develop solutions for the challenges of tomorrow.
