What is FLL?


FIRST LEGO League is where ITKAN students begin. From elementary classrooms to community centers, FLL introduces young students to engineering, programming, and problem-solving through hands-on LEGO robotics. ITKAN runs 38 FLL teams across 13 states, building the engineers of tomorrow from the very first build.

In Their Words


“

My son begged to come back every Saturday. He went from being shy about math to leading his team's robot programming. ITKAN didn't just teach him LEGOs; they taught him to believe he could build things.

“

I built a robot that could move blocks and I got to present in front of judges. I was nervous but my coach said robots don't work the first time and that's okay. We made it to State!

Every kid on our Tawasaw team won an award at their first tournament. Watching 8-year-olds debug code as a team is the future I want to see, and ITKAN handed us the playbook to run it.
