Welcome to the FLL Explore(FIRST LEGO League Explore) 2025-26 season!

In Explore, teams of students ages 6-10 focus on the fundamentals of engineering as they explore real-world problems, learn to design, and code, and create unique solutions made with LEGO bricks and powered by LEGO^® Education SPIKE Essential.

Dig into UNEARTHED™!

Explore: For the Unearthed season, team focus on archaeology, preservation, and innovative ways to protect and explore dig sites.
Create & Test: The team will build and explore an archaeological dig site, and the tools they need to uncover mysterious artifacts. They also explore coding as they motorize parts of their team model toward the end of their experience.
Share: The team will record their ideas and designs in their Engineering Notebooks. They share their models and what they learned with others. Finally, they participate in a festival to share their team posters and team models with reviewers, families, and friends. Most importantly, they have fun!

Explore Festival

The FIRST LEGO League Explore season culminates with an Explore festival. The goal of a festival is for teams to celebrate their hard work and share what they’ve learned.
At the festival, teams present their team model and poster, sharing their design process and what they’ve learned about the season’s theme. Volunteer reviewers engage with the team by asking questions and offering positive feedback. Every team at an Explore festival will win an award.
