We are excited to get this BIOGLOW FLL Challenge season started. While this is the last season of FIRST LEGO League as we know it, we are eagerly awaiting to find out what the next generation of FIRST K-8 programming will look like.
In the meantime, we want to make this an amazing season for all the teams, coaches, mentors, and volunteers! Below are some important announcements as we get the season started
Hello again! A quick correction - the kickoff event is Wednesday, September 2nd not 3rd. Thanks so much! Ellen O’Leary

Hello, This year, we didn't get the printed FLL challenge BIG GLOW robot rule book / engineering notebook, / team meeting guides. I only got the mat and mission pieces. Has it changed this year or lego didn't ship it yet ? Pls let me know if I am missing anything this year?

FIRST will not be sending physical copies of the BIOGLOW Robot Game Rulebook, Team Meeting Guide, and Engineering Notebook. This does save teams the additional shipping charge from previous years; while on the other hand, I know many teams did appreciate physical copies of these resources.
