Each year, thousands of students across the globe take part in FIRST LEGO League (FLL), an international robotics competition designed to inspire innovation, teamwork, and problem-solving. This season, the spotlight is on the FIRST LEGO League 2025–2026 UNEARTHED Challenge — and it promises to be one of the most exciting yet.
FIRST LEGO League (FLL) introduces students aged 9–14 to real-world engineering challenges through hands-on robotics. Working in teams, students design, build, and program LEGO robots to complete missions on a themed playing field. Beyond robotics, FLL encourages kids to explore innovation, core values, and teamwork, preparing them for a future full of possibilities.
In Canada, FLL is supported by FIRST Robotics Canada, which helps thousands of students each year participate in regional and national competitions. Teams across Ontario, Quebec, and beyond join forces to take on the challenge, showcase their creativity, and share their innovative solutions. FLL Canada has become a hub for STEM education, giving students opportunities to connect, compete, and grow.
This year’s challenge is called UNEARTHED. Students will explore archaeology and the hidden stories beneath our feet. From ancient artifacts to historical discoveries, teams are challenged to think about how we understand the past — and how technology can help us uncover new insights.
Robotics missions on the FLL mat will reflect this theme, giving students the chance to design attachments, program sensors, and build robots that solve unique archaeological challenges. The project component of the challenge also encourages students to identify a real-world problem in archaeology and propose an innovative solution.
Participating in FIRST LEGO League UNEARTHED isn’t just fun — it builds real-world skills:
🔧 Problem-solving and critical thinking
🤝 Teamwork and collaboration
🖥️ Coding and robotics knowledge
🌎 Understanding how technology impacts society
