How to Win the FLL Challenge Tournament: A Journey of Passion, Perseverance, and Teamwork

“Success is not the destination; it’s the journey, the lessons learned, and the relationships built along the way.”

If you’re reading this, you or someone close to you is diving headfirst into the First Lego League Challenge (FLLC). Whether you’re new to the competition or a returning veteran, the goal is the same: you want to win. But winning the FLLC is not just about trophies and titles — it’s about creating a memorable journey, one filled with growth, innovation, and unbreakable bonds.

Winning isn’t merely about being the best team on the field; it’s about embodying the values that FLLC cherishes — teamwork, respect, problem-solving, and creativity. The trophy is just the cherry on top.

Step 1: Embrace the Challenge Theme Wholeheartedly

Each FLLC season brings a unique theme. This isn’t just a subject for the challenge — it’s the heartbeat of your project. Winning teams don’t just understand the theme; they live it, breathe it, and find innovative ways to solve real-world problems around it. The theme becomes more than just an idea; it becomes a rallying cry that unites the team. Dive deep, explore different angles, and brainstorm how your project could make a real impact.
