FIRST LEGO League Challenge 2024-2025
The FIRST LEGO League challenge for the 2024-2025 school year is “Submerged.” Teams will use their STEM and collaboration skills to explore life beneath the surface of the ocean. Along the way, we’ll uncover the potential in each of us to strengthen our community and innovate for a better world with healthy oceans. We’ve collected some resources for you and your teammates to begin your exploration of the challenges faced by explorers and to the tools they use to understand the planet’s largest and most complex ecosystem–the ocean.
Watch a replay of our webinar with experts describing the many challenges they face (and some of their solutions they've created) in exploring the ocean.
