Abstract
Watch the best moments from this amazing day. Experience the teams' journey and feel the excitement as they battle it out to be crowned UK & Ireland Champions.
FIRST® LEGO® League is a global science and technology challenge for teams of students, to encourage an interest in real world issues and develop key skills that are crucial for their future careers. The students work together to explore a given topic and to design, build and program an autonomous LEGO® robot to solve a series of missions.
FIRST® LEGO® League is for young people aged 9 to16 years, working in teams of up to ten students with a supporting adult coach. Each year FIRST® LEGO® League releases a new challenge for the teams. The challenge involves a robot game and a research project, and students will need to demonstrate the FIRST® LEGO® League core values throughout all their work.
Teams usually have twelve to sixteen weeks to work on the challenge before they compete in their chosen Regional Tournament. The UK and Ireland Final took place on Saturday 24 February 2018 at the University of West of England (UWE) Exhibition and Conference Centre, Bristol.
