First Lego League

Welcome to FIRST LEGO League in South Florida. Team registration is always open at https://www.firstinspires.org. The new season challenge launches in August, but Spring and Summer are a great time to start a team or host a camp. Registration for local events is NOW CLOSED, as our competitive season has ended. We look forward to seeing you in the fall for another great season of events, expert chats and coach training!

FIRST is a robotics community that prepares young people for the future. As the world’s leading youth-serving nonprofit advancing STEM education, FIRST has combined the rigor of STEM learning with the fun and excitement of traditional sports and the inspiration that comes from the community through programs that have a proven impact on learning, interest, and skill-building inside and outside of the classroom. Your regional FIRST LEGO League partners, supported by the Cox Science Center and Aquarium and Stiles Nicholson Foundation organize a season of events to include scrimmages, qualifiers, and a regional tournament. We provide up-to-date communication from FIRST, team training, and team support.

Cox Science Center and Aquarium and Stiles-Nicholson Foundation are also proud to support the new South Florida FIRST Tech Challenge League.

Check with your school, library, or local community organization to see if there is already a team in your area. If not, starting one is fun and easy! For more information on starting a team, visit www.firstinspires.org or email us at [email protected] or [email protected]

Cox Science Center FIRST LEGO League registration is NOW CLOSED and will reopen in the fall. Teams can register with FIRST Robotics at any time. League registration is SEPARATE from FIRST Team Registration. League registration allows teams to participate in local events organized by the Cox Science Center and Aquarium Program Delivery Partners. HOW IT WORKS:

	1. Coaches must register their team at www.firstinspires.org
	2. Coaches register with Cox Science Center League
	3. Attend coaches meetings and/or trainings
	4. Register for local events through Cox Science Center and Aquarium (an event selection form will be emailed with League registration confirmation)

Once your team is registered with FIRST, join the Cox Science FIRST LEGO League for local support, monthly coaches' chats, and the opportunity to participate in events in your area.

As part of our global robotics community, FIRST^® volunteers empower students to embrace discovery, innovation, and collaboration. They work side by side with FIRST participants to develop their leadership and problem-solving skills and foster self-confidence. FIRST volunteers energize and inspire the next generation to use these skills to build a better future – and along the way, volunteers get energized and inspired themselves.
