Welcome to
STEM
The FIRST Lego League (FLL) Robotics curriculum is taught in grades Pre K through sixth. FLL is an engaging, innovative, and all-hands-on program for young learners. This program is taught by Mrs. McGreevy in the school library space. This course is a great start for your child as the Westhampton Beach high school has an amazing competitive robotics team!
FIRST® was founded in 1989 to inspire young people's interest and participation in science and technology. Based in Manchester, NH, the not-for-profit public charity designs accessible, innovative programs that motivate young people to pursue education and career opportunities in science, technology, engineering, and math, while building self-confidence, knowledge, and life skills.
What to Expect
The FIRST LEGO League program introduces STEM to children through fun, exciting hands-on learning. Participants gain real-world problem-solving experience through a guided, global robotics program, helping today’s students and teachers build a better future together. FIRST’s three age-appropriate divisions inspire youth to experiment and grow their critical thinking, coding, and design skills through hands-on STEM learning and robotics centered around a yearly theme.
FIRST has completed an external analysis and mapping of all FIRST Programs to 3 sets of educational standards: Common Core State Standards, Next Generation Science Standards, and 21st Century Learning Skills.
Core values are part of the program and are a method of working with others that builds character and guides students throughout the whole FIRST Lego League experience.
