FIRST® LEGO® League for Employers

FIRST® LEGO® League (FLL) tournaments are an action packed day of LEGO, innovation, robotics and friendly competition, made possible with the support of local employers and volunteers. For volunteers and employers, participating in FLL is an opportunity to nurture passions in young people while contributing to social value work. There are two ways for employers to get involved; by becoming a sponsor or by volunteering at a tournament.

Sponsoring FIRST® LEGO® League in the South West

The support of our incredible employer sponsors ensures that we can make these events accessible to under-resourced schools, providing much needed support and opportunity for young people who would otherwise not have been able to participate. Sponsorship starts at £700 for tournament partners, and £1400 for employers who wish to sponsor a school. More detail is in the sponsorship information document. If you’d like to discuss sponsoring FLL or have any queries then please get in touch.

Volunteering at a FIRST® LEGO® League Tournament

Each FLL tournament is supported by teams of volunteers. Volunteer roles include:

  • Judges: assessing student Innovation Projects and their Robot Design. Judges are the friendly face of all FLL tournament days, encouraging student teams to explain their ideas, the research they undertook and their design process.
  • Referees: supervising and scoring the Robot Game. All teams have three chances to compete on the challenge mat, referees are there to provide support and to score the successfully completed missions.
  • Stewards & Room Leaders: supporting the smooth running of the day. An FLL tournament is a busy day, the role of the stewards and room leaders is helping to keep everything on track and cheering on teams.

Volunteer recruitment usually starts in September or October, with all FLL events in the South West advertised on the STEM Ambassadors platform. If you’d like to get involved then please sign-up as a STEM Ambassador here or get in touch if you have any queries.
