FROM TRONDHEIM TO KOREA

What is FIRST LEGO League – and what do we do?

FIRST LEGO League is one of the world’s largest technology and innovation competitions for children and youth. Teams work to develop their own robots and solutions to real-world challenges through programming, technology, and creative problem-solving.Each year, the competition has a new theme. This year’s theme is archaeology.We have chosen to focus on a specific challenge within this theme: What happens when someone discovers historical artefacts? Many people don’t know what to do, and important information can be lost. Our idea is to make reporting accessible, simple — and maybe even engaging. That’s why we are developing a solution that makes it easy to report discoveries correctly.In addition, we work on the technical part of the competition:Each year, a new challenge field is created, inspired by the theme. Here, we build and program a robot to complete as many missions as possible and score as many points as possible — in just 2.5 minutes.Our robot is built from scratch, without predefined instructions. We design both the mechanics and the solutions ourselves. The code is developed in Python and tailored to our design, enabling the robot to solve the missions on the field.
