FIRST LEGO League Discover - Discover the world through play

FIRST LEGO League Discover is the division for preschool children aged 4 to 6. Here, kids explore scientific and technical concepts in a playful way. With enthusiasm and curiosity, they use LEGO® DUPLO® to gain their first experiences in science and engineering.

The FIRST Core Values take center stage: they promote collaboration, enhance the shared experience, and inspire children to explore with curiosity.

At the end of the project, children proudly present their results, for example, to other kids or their parents.

How Participation Works

Your Group

Your FIRST LEGO League Discover group can include 2 to 24 children aged 4 to 6 and can be organized in a preschool, daycare center, library, club, or even at home with family. The children are guided by an adult facilitator, such as an educator or parent. No prior knowledge is required for the facilitator. We provide child-friendly materials and monthly newsletters to support you. If you have any questions, we are happy to assist!

Time and Schedule

The project lasts a minimum of 10 weeks. During this time, the children work in small teams of four, using LEGO DUPLO bricks to build simple machines and models. In regular meetings, the teams present their progress and exchange ideas. At the end, the group showcases their completed models in an exhibition. Each year, a new theme sparks the children’s curiosity, encouraging them to ask questions and find answers through play.
