Student Enrollment

For 2026-2027 robotics season, we will form 3 teams: First Lego League (FLL), Computer Science & AI (LEGO Education new hardware), and Vex V5.

As most of you may already know, 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).

This video offers insights on what it means for educators, robotics programs, and students around the world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=CFOX7CN9WP0&t=32

This same youtuber also walks us through the new features of LEGO Education Computer Science and AI kit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D74UlJOI1fs

2026-2027 Schedule:

- For the Founders Edition (FLL), team registration opens in May 2026, with the season kick-off in August 2026, we look forward to learning more about the season theme in August. (Grades 5-8)

- The Future Edition utilizes a new Lego computer science and AI kit, which replaces the SPIKE prime, offering more interactive and sensor-driven robots, with a focus on ease of building for younger participants (Grades 5-8).

- Vex V5 is the 5th-generation metal-based educational robotics platform designed for middle and high school students (grades 9-12). Here is an intro video of Vex V5 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwwyoFrypyM
