North Carolina FIRST LEGO League State Championship

FIRST® LEGO League introduces STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) to youth at an early age and grows the students’ interests in STEM, STEM careers, and understanding of STEM. These events are free and open to the public.

The range of opportunities that an education in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) offers young people is wider than ever. FIRST® helps kids uncover their futures using a winning formula of inspiration, hands-on learning, team-based problem solving, mentorship, and celebration.

More Than Robots®, we are a life-changing global community of mentors, educators, volunteers, sponsors, parents, and alumni who are dedicated to helping all young people develop the skills, confidence, and resilience to succeed.

Exciting, hands-on FIRST programs have a proven and lasting impact on STEM learning and interest in students. FIRST participants work as teams in creative learning environments to solve an annual, themed robotics challenge.

The tournament will be held on Friday, December 12, 2025, and will begin at 8:00am.  The event will be open to the public from 12 noon – 5:30pm, beginning with the Opening Ceremony followed by Robot Performance Runs, Public Project Presentations and ending with Awards Ceremony.  A special Archaeology ‘Dig Site’ will also be available to the public to learn more about Archaeology (this year’s theme). 

During the event, NC FLL will host an Information Session, open to the public from 11:00am – 12:00pm.  We invite you to join us and learn more about the program from the perspective of our children. To attend, please RSVP via email to info@nc-fll.com.
