If you have been looking for an engaging, hands-on way to bring STEM to life for your Year 5 and Year 6 pupils, we have an exciting opportunity for your school.
We are thrilled to invite you to the official launch event for the 2026-27 FIRST LEGO League (FLL) Season: Bioglow!
The FIRST LEGO League is much more than just building robots. It is a brilliant, cross-curricular programme that develops vital 21st-century skills. For Upper Key Stage 2 pupils, it provides a unique platform to dive into coding, engineering, and problem-solving, while building resilience, teamwork, and communication skills. Best of all, no prior robotics or coding experience is required from you or your students—we are here to support you every step of the way.
Whether you are completely new to FLL or just haven’t taken part in a while, our launch event will give you everything you need to confidently kick off a new team.
Launch Event Details:
- Date: Thursday 24th September
- Time: 4:00 PM
- Location: OpenZone B, The Word, South Shields
What to Expect: During this session, we will walk you through exactly how the programme works:
- The Bioglow Theme: A first look at this year’s nature-and-science-inspired challenges and the robot game.
- Getting Started from Scratch: Step-by-step guidance on how to form a team, register your school, and access equipment and resources.
- Q&A Session: Dedicated time to answer any questions you have about time commitments, coaching, and preparation.
Save the Date: The Regional Tournament! To give you a clear target, our official FLL Bioglow Tournament will take place on Thursday, March 11, 2027. This gives your new team plenty of time to learn, build, code, and innovate before experiencing the incredible atmosphere of tournament day.
