The First® LEGO® League Challenge is a global STEM programme for teams of young people to encourage an interest in real-world themes and develop key skills crucial to their future careers.
BHCA in association with PENDRAGON COMMUNITY PRIMARY SCHOOL are introducing this to local children, which we began on Monday 28th October 2026. With the help of a number of Companies we have now been able to enter the team into a National Event for which the final Competition day will take place in Market Deeping on Sunday 17th January.
After they complete the building of the various Lego Models, they will then begin programming Lego Robots to carry out missions on a large playmat. As well as this the children will be investigating a particular issue, and presenting their ideas for a solution at the "Competition Day", wearing their own designed T-Shirts.
We will be posting regular details of how the children are getting on, so stay tuned for updates!
