FIRST LEGO League (FLL) is an international competition for elementary and middle school students. Each year in August FIRST LEGO League introduces a scientific and real-world challenge for teams to focus and research on. The robotics part of the competition involves designing and programming LEGO Mindstorms robots to complete tasks. The students also work out a solution to a problem related to the theme (changes every year) and then meet for regional, national and international tournaments to compete, share their knowledge, compare ideas, and display their robots.

Finally the most exciting moment came, the award ceremony. We were not called forward for the 'smaller' prizes for the separate components, which we thought was a bit strange having received very good feedback from the juries.
