| Junior FIRST LEGO League
Created in partnership with the LEGO Group,
Junior
FIRST LEGO League (JFLL) is geared to children aged
6 to 9 years old and utilizes a modified FIRST
LEGO League framework. Teams of up to 6 children and
an adult mentor receive a mini challenge, based on the annual
FLL research project.
Children spend about a month exploring, investigating,
designing and building a model made with LEGO bricks.
Teams celebrate and share their experience with other teams,
family and friends at local events or at an official JFLL
Expo. The celebration includes time to enhance the teams’
current models and show their poster, meet with friendly
"Reviewers" to share their experiences, and receive
recognition for their efforts.
 JFLL introduces children to the concepts of teamwork and
basic design skills, creating an initial interest and hands-on
approach to science and technology through the familiarity
and fun of LEGO building.
The goal: provide an experience that will begin to transform
youngsters and open their eyes to the possibilities of improving
the world around them through acknowledgement, thought,
planning and technology.
