“I have found the introduction of FIRST® LEGO® League Explore into our schools extremely beneficial in terms of embedding the necessary skills earlier in the key stages.

"Not only does it promote the skills needed to build and program, it encourages the essential skills of independent learning, critical thinking and teamwork. FIRST® LEGO® League Explore provides a safe environment to explore these skills without fear of failure or the pressure of attaining a result.”

Fran Ward, FIRST® LEGO® League Explore Host

“Excellent programme, brilliant engagement with students and can be such a confidence booster for students.

"Creativity, resilience, and coding skills all learnt through LEGO®.

"I really hope that more schools specifically with disadvantaged students engage in such activities.”
