Description: FIRST LEGO League Challenge in Minnesota (MN FLL Challenge) is part of a global robotics program that includes more than 480,000 kids in 110 countries. High Tech Kids, in partnership with FIRST, has been bringing FIRST LEGO League Challenge to Minnesota since 1998.

Teams collaborate to build and program an autonomous robot to score points on a thematic playing surface (the Robot Game) and create an innovative solution to a problem correlating to the yearly theme (the Innovation Project), all guided by the FIRST Core Values. These elements make up what is called The Challenge.

The theme of The Challenge changes every year and is based on a real-world scientific topic. Past challenges have included topics such as space, nanotechnology, biomedical, climate change, recycling, and transportation.
