Fund the future of engineering
Unlock STEM potential for thousands of young people across the UK and Ireland.
Through FIRST® LEGO® League, your funding directly transforms lives - giving more children, from all backgrounds, access to world-class STEM education that shapes tomorrow's engineers.
The UK faces a critical engineering skills shortage and we need more problem-solvers than ever before. FIRST® LEGO® League removes perception barriers around STEM, and encourages all children to think that a career in STEM is for them.
Your support helps us inspire the next generation early, when it matters most.
