Friendly competition is at the heart of Challenge, as teams of students ages 9-14 or grades 4 through 8 engage in research, problem-solving, coding and engineering – building and programming a LEGO robot that navigates the missions of a robot game. As part of Challenge, teams also participate in a research project to identify and solve a relevant real-world problem. The theme for the 2024-2025 season is SUBMERGED.
