For 2026-2027 robotics season, we will form 3 teams:
First Lego League (FLL)(Grades 5-8),
Computer Science & AI (LEGO Education new hardware)(Grades 5-8),
and Vex V5(grades 6-12).
The 2026-2027 season marks a major transition for FIRST LEGO League (FLL), with LEGO Education ending its partnership with FIRST, making 2026-2027 the final season jointly delivered. Starting in August 2026, a "Transition Phase" begins where the traditional "Founders Edition" (using SPIKE technology) runs alongside a new "Future Edition" (using new Computer Science & AI hardware).
