What is FIRST LEGO LEAGUE?

FLL or FIRST LEGO LEAGUE is a worldwide robotics organization, in the form of tournament, for kids aged 9 to 16 years old. It is designed to help kids discover and love science and technology in the most fun way by trusting their abilities and believing in themselves, while teaching them valuable life skills. It is a collaboration of the FIRST® (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) and LEGO® education sector and has been organized annually since 1998 in more than 98 countries worldwide.

In 2013 - 2014 the competition was organized for the first time in Greece by the non-profit Assosiation eduACT (Action for Education) and since then it has been held every March in Thessaloniki, and has been held both in Cyprus and Bulgaria.
