FIRST LEGO League Challenge Season Specifics

MASTERPIECe

Introduction

Each year FIRST chooses a new theme and designs a robot challenge and innovation project around the theme. The overall theme for the four FIRST programs for the 2022-23 season was FIRST^® IN SHOW^SM. The theme for FIRST LEGO League Challenge was MASTERPIECE^SM. The theme for FIRST LEGO League Challenge for the 2024-25 Season will be SUBMERGED. Here is the "teaser" video:

The kick off for the 2024-25 season will be held in August 2024.

Each team will need a Challenge Set that is specific to the season and should be ordered when the team is registered with FIRST for the season. The set includes a large MASTERPIECE vinyl mat and many bags of LEGO parts for building the mission elements for the robot game.

FIRST has provided a Resource Library for the Masterpiece season including challenge materials, rules, rubrics and more. The description of the Innovation Project can be found here.
