FIRSTLEGO League is an international educational program organized in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland by HANDS on TECHNOLOGY e.V. With activities for children and young people of various age groups, the program promotes their skills in the fields of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), as well as teamwork and communication.
FIRST LEGO League Explore is an opportunity for elementary school children aged 6 - 10. A team or an entire class spends several weeks immersing themselves in an exciting topic from the world of science and technology and presents the results in an exhibition at the end of the season.
The FIRST LEGO League Challenge is for children and young people aged 9 - 16. Like real engineers, the participants work on a joint project for several weeks. They design and program an autonomous robot and conduct research on a topic of their choice. The teams compete against each other in regional and national competitions and present their solutions.
2026/2026 season: UNEARTHED
In this archaeology-inspired season, students will use their STEM skills and team spirit to delve deeper into discoveries than ever before—and develop ideas for a better future. Because every find tells a story! Tools, works of art, and technical achievements connect us with the people and ideas of the past.
Currently, information events for new coaches are held weekly—every Wednesday at 4 p.m.
Important dates at a glance:
📝 Registration is open for CHALLENGE until October 31, 2025, and for EXPLORE until December 1, 2025 (if places are still available).
