Build a Team. Build a Robot. Build Something Bigger.

FIRST LEGO League Challenge is more than robots—it’s a chance for young people to solve problems, explore big ideas, work together, and discover what they can accomplish. Teams get started at a school by educators or in the community by parents, out of school organizations, reglious groups and more! Ready to get going? Start here!

How do I build the Mission Models?

  1. Sort the LEGO element bags (found in your Challenge Set box) by bag number. They are labeled.
  2. Match the bag numbers with the corresponding bag numbers below (See the Prepack Overview)
  3. Open the correct pdf files and have an awesome time assembling the models. We strongly recommend opening one set of bags at a time so elements are not mixed up.
  4. Have fun!
