By starting an FLL team a school can literally change the lives of its students.  FLL creates student interest in science, technology, engineering and maths by encouraging teamwork, initiative, self-confidence and appreciation of diversity.  The program effectively engages children from various backgrounds, instilling new ideas and concepts in more experienced children, while helping to inspire, motivate, and encourage basic learning principles and skills amongst children with less experience.  Through their involvement children learn key employability skills such as time management, reasearch, collaboration and presentation skills.

Your school can:

• Form FLL teams
• Bring FLL into the curriculum
• Spread the word about FLL
• Provide a space for teams to work
• Be a tournament site
• Help mentor/coach a team

The benefits of FLL:

• Enthusiasm for learning science and technology
• Translation of classroom learning into real-world application
• Self directed learning opportunities for students
• Outreach to under-represented students
• Positive community relations
