LEGO®
Programme overview
FIRST ®
LEGO®
League is a global programme created to get kids
excited about engineering, science and technology. Geared
towards ages 9-16 (ages vary by country of participation),
the programme utilises theme-based Challenges to engage
children in research, problem solving and engineering.
The cornerstones of the programme are its Core
Values, which emphasise contributions of others,
friendly competition, learning and community
involvement.
Each annual challenge has two parts:
(1) Project, and
(2) Robot Game.
Both of these are operated to Core Values.
Working in teams of up to 10 children and guided
by at least two adult coaches, team members have
up to 10 weeks to:
• Build an autonomous robot that will, in 2.5
minutes complete pre-designed missions.
• Analyse, research and invent a solution to a
given assignment.
• Create a clear presentation about their solution
to perform in front of a panel of judges.
The culmination of all that hard work for many
teams is the participation in a FIRST ®
LEGO®
League event. These are like sporting events!
Referees monitor and score the Robot Game. Judges
review their team presentations, robot design and
their demonstration of Core Values. Teams earn
awards and trophies.
Every year FIRST ®
LEGO®
League works with
experts in the field to create a challenge that
relates to a significant real-world issue. The end
result is a challenge that requires research to
complete the Project and science and engineering
to master the complex mission of the Robot
Game. It’s a fun and exciting way to encourage
kids’ minds.
Project overview
ANIMAL ALLIESSM
In the past, people often thought about how animals could help
us. Today, it’s time to think about how we can help each
other. What might become possible when we work
together with our ANIMAL ALLIESSM
?
For the Project, teams were asked to:
• Identify a problem when people and animals
interact.
• Design a solution that makes the interaction
better for animals, people, or both.
• Share their problem and solution with others.
12 13

LEGO®
Robot Game overview
For the Robot Game, teams must build and programme an
autonomous robot using a LEGO®
MINDSTORMS®
kit to solve a
set of missions on a playing field. Each mission represents
the many ways innovation and technology have enabled
humans and animals to exchange learning, friendship,
help, daily needs, protection, amusement, and love.
The Robot Game missions explained:
1. Shark shipment
Move the shark to her new home
not touching her tank’s walls.
2. Service dog action
Drive past the visually impaired
man, and the dog will sit.
3. Animal conservation
Work with the other team
to exchange animals.
4. Feeding
Deliver food from the refrigerator
to the animal areas.
5. Biomimicry
Place a mechanical gecko on the
biomimicry wall, and/or hang the
robot on the wall.
6. Milking automation
Guide the cow into the machine,
then spin the machine until
milk comes out. Spin too far and
manure comes out!
7. Panda release
Release a panda from facility
care and observation to open
wilderness.
8. Camera recovery
Retrieve the on-board camera from
the seal and bring it back to Base.
9. Training and research
Move the dog and trainer,
zoologist, and/or manure samples
to the training and research area.
10. Beekeeping
Place the bee on the beehive
and get the honey out.
11. Prosthesis
Fit the prosthesis where the legs of
our little friend should be, and send
the pet to its place on the farm.
12. Seal in base
Bring the seal to base
in perfect shape.
13. Milk in base
Bring all three milk
pieces to base.
14. Milk on ramp
All three milk pieces are completely
supported by the ramp. Different
options are available for points.
15. All samples – all seven manure
samples must be completely in
the training and research area.
Penalties:
If a team interrupts the Robot,
the Referee issues a manure
sample as an interruption
penalty. Teams can get up
to five such penalties, worth
-6 points each.
Core Values
The FIRST ®
LEGO®
League Core Values are the cornerstones
of the programme. They are among the fundamental
elements that distinguish FIRST ®
LEGO®
League from
other programmes of its kind.
By embracing the Core Values, participants learn that
friendly competition and mutual gain are not separate
goals, and that helping one another is the foundation
of teamwork.
• We are a team.
• We do the work to find solutions with guidance
from our coaches and mentors.
• We know our coaches and mentors don’t have
all the answers; we learn together.
• We honor the spirit of friendly competition.
• What we discover is more important than
what we win.
• We share our experiences with others.
• We display Gracious Professionalism®
and
Coopertition®
in everything we do.
• We have FUN!

~50% of passenger vehicles
sold in 2030 will be able to drive by
themselves in many situations 15%
will be able to fully drive themselves.
It’s suggested that 60% of
new cars will be have no emissions
by 2030.
Cars and the advanced computing
power they contain are now becoming
increasingly connected to the internet. This will
cause an explosion in functionality and features.
Your car will soon be as connected as your phone. People
will be able to use phone apps built specifically for cars,
that will allow engine tuning, remote control driving or
that will let you know when to top up your electric car.
In the UK typically a car travelling an average 12,000 miles a
year is utilised for 7% of time. Average time to find a parking
space is approaching 40% of journey time in some Cities.
Electric cars will
account for ~10% of
new vehicle sales by
2025, hybrids will
reach a 40% share.
~50% of the world’s population live
in cities, this level is rising towards
66% so that by 2050 this will result
in more people sharing transport and
finding more efficient ways to travel.

Body parts that are lost through trauma, diseaseor birth defect can be replaced with prosthetics.
These may be removable, e.g. a prosthetic leg thatcan be taken off and substituted for a running blade forsprinting; or permanent e.g. an artificial hip, knee or even heart.Biomedical engineers have developed a number of life-enhancing and life-saving technologies including:
• prosthetic eyes that give a blind person sight• hands that respond to thought
• dentures and artificial limb replacements
• implanted devices such as insulin pumps, pacemakersand artificial organs.
Prostheses may now be integrated with body tissues, includingthe nervous system to better imitate normal movement and utility.Who knows what will happen in the future? Will we ever reach astage of having completely artificial bodies?

engagement in learning by giving them a hands-on experience that encourages
learning through physical and digital creation.
We are LEGO®
Education. For more than 35
years we have been working with teachers and
educational specialists to deliver playful learning
experiences that bring subjects to life in the
classroom and make learning fun and impactful.
We have a wide range of physical and digital
educational resources that encourage pupils to
think creatively, reason systematically and release
their potential to shape their own future.
Our solutions for teaching and hands-on learning
inspire interest in Science, Technology, Engineering
and Maths (STEM), targeted at preschool, primary
and secondary school. These are based on the
LEGO system for playful learning combined with
curriculum-relevant material and digital resources.
With educational sets, lesson
plans and curriculum material,
assessment tools and teacher
training and support, we
can help teachers meet their
curriculum objectives and
provide them with the tools
they need to make learning
inspiring, engaging
and effective.
We believe that expanding knowledge and building
academic and 21st century skills will create active,
collaborative, lifelong learners. Together with teachers,
we aim to enable every pupil to succeed in education
and be prepared for future life challenges.
