FIRST LEGO League
During the school year, we run FIRST LEGO League teams and compete in the Edinburgh competition!
What is FIRST LEGO League?
From September to February, we run FIRST LEGO League in parallel to our normal sessions. In FIRST LEGO League, you work in a team on several challenges every week, working up to a big tournament!
FLL consists of several parts:
🤖 Robot game and engineering
Build a LEGO robot that can complete challenges on the game mat. On competition day, complete as many challenges as possible in 2.5 mins and present the features of the robot to a panel of judges.
💡 Innovation project
Research a problem related to the challenge theme and design an innovation that can solve it. On competition day, present the design to the judges and convince them why it is important.
🤝 Core values
Embody the FLL Core Values of discovery, innovation, impact, inclusion, teamwork, and fun. On competition day, show the judges how far you've come as a team!
We've participated in the Edinburgh competition several times and even won a few prizes, such as Best Innovation Project by our team Plastic Pollution Solution in 2025! Thanks to a grant from Digital Xtra in 2024, we have two LEGO SPIKE Prime sets that our teams have full use of during the season.
FIRST LEGO League at Prewired is open to those aged 11-16.
We will once again participate with two teams in the 26-27 season of FIRST LEGO League, BIOGLOW, in the Founders Edition version of the tournament. Registration will start in September—subscribe to our mailing list to be the first to know!
Prewired teams shine at the 2026 FIRST LEGO League!
We joined the 2026 competition at Edinburgh College with two teams: the Groundbreakers and the Dale Diorites. Both did very well—read all about it in our news post!
