FIRST Lego League Explore Program
In the Fall students are welcome to join the FIRST Lego League Explore program, which is a 2-3 month session program held at Sunset Hills Elementary School on Mondays after school. The season culminates at a Lego League Expo, such as the one held at Westview High School, where teams from the region present the projects they have been working on all season long.
​
The FIRST Lego League Explore program is part of the succession of robotics-related programs created by FIRST and are used locally by other PUSD elementary schools, Black Mountain Middle School, Westview and Mt. Carmel High Schools.
​
Students will be working out of a STEAM-based workbook created by FIRST Lego League Explore while guided by adult coaches. (Adult volunteers will be provided online support materials and a coach's handbook. Coaches don't need to be engineers to help out. They just have to love to help teach/coach kids and play with Lego!)
​
This program is for students 2nd grade and up. Students will use a Lego Education Spike Essential or Spike Prime Robotics Kit, Chromebooks, along with the designated Lego set for this year's theme. FIRST Lego League Explore is a non-competitive, educational program.
​
Students will progress through an engineering notebook with Lego building activities and coding/robotics activities. Coding is done through Lego's Spike App with visual block coding and/or text block coding.
