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 2022-2023 season is SUPERPOWERED. The details of this season's challenge will be announced on August 2, 2022.

FIRST has created a set of getting started videos and a comprehensive list of multimedia resources to support teams this season.
