FIRST LEGO League (FLL) is a global program created to get kids excited about science and technology. Geared for ages 9 to 14, FLL utilizes theme-based Challenges to engage kids in research, problem solving and engineering. Students spend months designing, building and programming LEGO robots while researching and writing a project presentation.

In 2009 Skillpoint Alliance and the Technology & Education Exeuctive Council became the Central Texas FLL Regional Partner. We are excited to bring this high-quality, exciting science and technology program to students in our region.

To find out more information about getting involved with FLL as a coach, mentor or volunteer--or to learn about starting a team, please visit the Central Texas FLL site.

Skillpoint will provide a training workshop in the summer for coaches just getting started and those seeking additional experience and extra resources. More information is forthcoming.
