BC Original Minds - Celebrating 25 Years of Creative Problem Solving

FIRST logo Canada flag

FIRST Lego League (FLL) is an international program for children created in a partnership between FIRST and the LEGO Company. Each September, FLL announces the annual Challenge, which engages the teams in hands-on robotics design and authentic scientific research. After eight intense weeks, the FLL season culminates at high-energy, sports-like tournaments. In 2003 over 43,000 children from 14 countries participated in the FLL program.

FIRST Lego League British Columbia (FLL BC) was formed in 2003 to hold the first annual FLL tournament in British Columbia, Canada. Seventeen teams of children attended the November 29, 2003 tournament in North Vancouver, demonstrating their teamwork and technical skills, competing for the Director's Cup trophy, and above all having fun!

In 2004 the BC tournament grew in size to 26 teams, and BC was also chosen as one of the pilot sites for the Junior FLL program. In 2007 FLL BC grew to three regional tournaments and a BC Provincial Championship tournament as well as offering Junior FLL and FIRST Tech Challenge competitions.
