FIRST LEGO League Jr. is designed to introduce STEM concepts to kids ages 6 to 10 while exciting them through a brand they know and love − LEGO®.
Guided by adult coaches and FIRST® Core Values, students build models using LEGO® Education WeDo 2.0 and create Show Me posters to present what they learned. The program focuses on building interest in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) through a real-world challenge – to be solved by research, critical thinking, and imagination.
Since 2018, RoboPlanet has coached and led student teams participating in the FIRST LEGO League Explore. World Expo and won a number of awards.
The competition is held every year from September to December.
FIRST® LEGO® League is the most accessible, guided, global robotics competition, helping students and teachers to build a better future together. The program is built around theme-based Challenges to engage children ages 9 to 16* in research, problem solving, coding, and engineering. The foundation of the program is the FIRST® Core Values, which emphasize teamwork, discovery, and innovation.
The VEX GO Competition (VGOC) consists of four different themed games that can be constructed with a VEX GO Competition Kit. The themes provide teachers a GREAT opportunity to do STEM and project-based learning. Students will have fun while exploring Mars and the Oceans and other activities like helping others with city building and disaster recovery. Students will learn about engineering, teamwork, and critical thinking while getting them started on a lifetime of STEM understanding.
The competition is held every June.
The VEX IQ Competition, presented by the Robotics Education & Competition Foundation, provides elementary and middle school students with exciting, open-ended robotics challenges that enhance their science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) skills through hands-on, student-centered learning.
The VEX IQ Competition fosters student development of the teamwork, critical thinking, project management, and communication skills required to prepare them to become the next generation of innovators and problem solvers.
The season is from May to May of the following year.
In the VEX Robotics Competition, presented by the Robotics Education & Competition Foundation, teams of students are tasked with designing and building a robot to play against other teams in a game-based engineering challenge. Classroom STEM concepts are put to the test as students learn lifelong skills in teamwork, leadership, communications, and more. Tournaments are held year-round at the regional, state, and national levels and culminate at the VEX Robotics World Championship each April!
Since 2018, RoboPlanet has coached and led student teams participating in VEX Robotics competition and won a number of awards.
The season is from May to May of the following year.
