Dive Into Innovation – FIRST® LEGO® League Submerged Season Launches!
We are thrilled to see the launch of the FIRST® LEGO® League (FLL) Challenge – Submerged Season! This year's competition promises to be one of the most exciting and thought-provoking yet, as young innovators from across Alberta dive deep into the world of underwater exploration, pushing the boundaries of technology, creativity, and teamwork.
Theme of the Year: Submerged
In the Submerged Season, teams will be exploring the mysteries and challenges of the underwater world. Whether it’s examining marine life, addressing oceanic pollution, or finding ways to navigate deep-sea environments, participants will be tasked with solving complex problems in creative ways. This season will inspire future explorers, marine scientists, and environmental engineers to tackle one of the greatest frontiers on Earth.
The Exciting Challenges Ahead
In this underwater-themed challenge, students will engage with missions that simulate the trials faced by real-world ocean explorers and engineers. They’ll need to design LEGO robots that can:
- Complete tasks like collecting samples
- Move objects from one point to another
Each challenge is crafted to spark curiosity, encourage teamwork, and build resilience as teams work through their ideas.
Why Submerged Matters
Oceans cover more than 70% of our planet, yet they remain one of the least understood environments. The Submerged season provides students with the opportunity to learn about the importance of ocean conservation, sustainable technology, and the innovative methods required to explore and protect these vast aquatic landscapes. The knowledge and skills participants gain during this competition could lead them to become the future problem-solvers who will address these global challenges.
