FIRST LEGO League Challenge Season Specifics

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 is FIRST^® IN SHOW^SM. The theme for FIRST LEGO League Challenge is MASTERPIECE^SM.

The kick off for the 2023-24 season will be held on August 1, 2023.

Each team will need a MASTERPIECE Challenge Set that 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.
