SEASON INFORMATION

This Season's Challenge

In the UNEARTHEDTM challenge, FIRST® LEGO® League teams will uncover the past to discover the future.

Every artifact we uncover holds a story. Each tool, each innovation, each work of art connects us to the people and ideas that came before us. Using STEM skills and teamwork, today we can dig deeper into discoveries than ever before.
