FIRST LEGO League WA
FIRST Lego League (FLL) WA is a STEM project led by Curtin University with key partners around WA. It is part of the international For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology (FIRST®) movement.
Over terms 3 and 4, teams of students (ages 9-16) engage in the FIRST Lego League Challenge. A friendly competition where teams engage in research, problem-solving, coding and engineering as they build and program a LEGO robot that navigates the missions of a robot game.
The WA program has grown from a small event for 50 students, and now culminates in multiple, day-long qualifying competitions and one State finals competition involving over 15,000 students, teachers, mentors and engaged local community members.
Get involved in the FLL WA community
The strong collaborative community of practice around FLL WA is a major strength of the program. We are always looking for STEM-focused schools to join the growing FLL community.
FLL Education Research
An experienced teacher and FLL Coach, Michael Graffin is currently undertaking his Doctor of Philosophy in Education at Curtin University. He is investigating how students develop their collaboration and communication skills by being a part of FLL.
Partners
We want to thank these partners below for their support in FLL WA. Without their involvement, none of this can happen.
