FIRST® LEGO® League worldwide – international developement
Since 1998 FIRST® LEGO® League has been established all over the world for children and youngsters. FIRST® LEGO® League is a cooperational project of LEGO® Company and the foundation FIRST® (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) started in 1998 in the USA. Dean Kamen the founder of FIRST® and initiator of FIRST® LEGO® League in the USA outlines the establishment of the program as follows: “We have to show our children that it can be more interesting to create a robot than just to play with it.”
Within the over 20 years of the existance of FIRST® LEGO® League the challenge could be established in 100 countries and was organized with more than 38.000 teams in 2018. The non-profit organization HANDS on TECHNOLOGY e.V. is one of the many partners in the world wide FIRST® LEGO® League Community and is running the educational program in several countries in Central Europe.
