Abstract
The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) is the UK and Ireland partner for FIRST® LEGO® League (FLL). FLL is a global science and technology competition 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 as a team and explore a given scientific topic and plan, program and test an autonomous robot to solve several missions. FLL is for young people aged nine to 16 years, working in teams of up to ten with a supporting mentor. Each year FLL releases a new challenge for the teams. The challenge involves a robot game and a project, and students will need to demonstrate the FLL core values throughout all their work. Huge congratulations to FIRST LEGO League UK Champions -- Team Invicta -- on winning the FIRST LEGO League World Championship in St. Louis, Missouri, USA . This is the second year in a row that a UK Team has won the FIRST LEGO League World Championships proving that UK most certainly does have an edge when it comes to robotics. FLL is for young people aged nine to 16 years, working in teams of up to ten with a supporting mentor. Each year FLL releases a new challenge for the teams.
