FIRST LEGO League Explore teams (ages 6-10) celebrate their accomplishments together and share their learning journeys by presenting their Show Me Posters and LEGO models at this season-culminating exposition. Older robotics teams demonstrate at these events. Spectators welcome at no charge, as allowed by local guidelines and restrictions; those not affiliated with a team should e-mail FLLExplore@coloradofirst.org for more details.

The iMAGINE STEAM Festivals are designed to showcase PreK-12 education and career pathways in Science, Technology, Arts, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEAM) through fun, hands-on learning for families. The festival is a highly visible street festival that engages companies, schools, and nonprofits in providing exciting, interactive STEAM learning exhibits for PreK-12 students and their families. The purpose of the festival is to ignite the interest of students in STEAM learning and career pathways.

The FIRST LEGO League Explore season ends with festivals, where students showcase their team models and posters and share what they've learned with volunteers, friends, and family. It is also a wonderful opportunity for teams to meet other teams and learn from one another.

FIRST LEGO League guides youth through STEM learning and exploration at an early age. From Discover, to Explore, and then to Challenge, students will understand the basics of STEM and apply their skills in an exciting competition while building habits of learning, confidence, and teamwork skills along the way.

The Mansfield FLL Explore Festival is a chance for Discover and Explore teams to celebrate their learning. In addition to sharing their team’s mission model, poster, and core values, kids will enjoy a school gym full of hands-on STEM stations they can explore as they make new friends. We will celebrate with a “high-five” ceremony in which all teams receive an award. Our Festival is held on a weekday to accommodate school teams, though all teams are welcome. Because we do not charge for our event, we ask that only teams committed to attending complete the sign-up. Contact e-mail for Christina Dotson: missdotson@gmail.com
