Funding for Libraries 2024/25 Academic Year

The Institution of Engineering and Technology are excited to announce that we have received funding for Libraries to run FIRST® LEGO® League Discover and Explore.

How do you run FIRST® LEGO® League Discover and Explore in Libraries?

FIRST LEGO League Library HUBS will work with local schools (at least 3 classes per 1 funded class pack) to run a 10 week programme. The library staff will deliver the programme to the class once a week and will receive as many ‘Top Up Packs’ as needed to engage with schools.

This project is running for the 2024/25 academic year and each library will need to engage with at least 3 classes per division.

What will you receive from us?

A fully funded DISCOVER and/or EXPLORE SUBMERGED class pack, including Top up packs throughout the year.

Your Library can take part in one or both divisions.
