FIRST LEGO® League introduces elementary and middle school students to STEM through hands-on building, coding, teamwork, and creative problem-solving. Teams explore a real-world theme, develop innovative ideas, and use LEGO® Education technology to bring their solutions to life.
For the 2026–2027 season, teams may participate in either the Founders Edition or the new Future Edition. Founders Edition includes the familiar FIRST LEGO League Explore and Challenge experiences, while Future Edition introduces new age-based experiences and technology. Program and event availability may vary across Texas. Learn about the two editions
Texas teams are supported through regional systems that connect them with local events, resources, and opportunities to celebrate and share their work. Whether you are choosing an edition, starting a team, preparing for the season, or supporting an event, this page will help you understand how FIRST LEGO League works across the state.
What Teams Experience
How FIRST LEGO League Works in Texas
One statewide program, supported regionally
FIRST LEGO League in Texas is organized through six geographic regions: North, Central, East, South, West, and Panhandle. Each region connects teams with local events, communications, resources, and program support.
The core FIRST LEGO League experience is consistent across Texas, although event schedules, locations, registration processes, and available editions may vary by region. Depending on their edition and age group, teams may participate in celebrations, festivals, qualifiers, and other opportunities to share their work and connect with the FIRST community.
The 2026 - 2027 Season at a Glance
The 2026–2027 FIRST® LEGO® League season is BIOGLOW™, part of the biodiversity-themed FIRST® CANOPY™ season.
For nearly three decades, FIRST and LEGO Education have partnered to deliver FIRST LEGO League and introduce millions of young people to STEM through hands-on learning, teamwork, creativity, and problem-solving. The 2026-2027 FIRST LEGO League season, BIOGLOW™, will be the final season of the program and include two editions: Founders Edition and Future Edition.
BIOGLOW™ Founders Edition
FIRST LEGO League Explore and Challenge teams will participate in a game experience using LEGO Education SPIKE™ technology.
Students in Challenge will apply the STEM skills they have learned to friendly competition. These students will program a LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Prime robot to autonomously complete missions against a playing field during two-and-a-half minute matches. They will also explore the biodiversity theme in the game and Innovation Project.
BIOGLOW™ Future Edition
FIRST LEGO League teams participate in a game experience centered around biodiversity, using LEGO® Education Computer Science & AI kits.
Teams will collaborate to build and code wireless hardware to advance their skills and solve mission in this new interactive alliance-based game across the mat during the two-and-a-half minute matches. Through their Innovation Project, they will dig deeper and learn more about biodiversity and how the balance between nature and humans keeps our world healthy.
Due to projected team counts, the Texas season will primarily focus on the BIOGLOW™ Founders Edition, including offering Explore and Challenge events. We are also planning to offer at least one Future Edition event, with more details coming soon.
