The winners of FIRST® LEGO® League UAE will proudly represent the nation at prestigious international festivals in

the USA, Australia, Norway, and various European countries. Notably, in the 2023-24 season, the FLL UAE team
earned the ‘Best Robot Performance Award’ on the global stage, winning against top teams from around the

world.

The event aligns with the ‘UAE Centennial 2071’ plan, ‘Vision 2021’, and the ‘National Innovation Strategy’ aimed at

enhancing future-ready skills, as well as the goals of the ‘UAE Artificial Intelligence Strategy 2031’ and the ‘UAE
Science, Technology, and Innovation Policy’. Moreover, the UAE remains committed to elevating its educational

landscape, by implementing key strategies focused on driving qualitative improvements in the educational system
and enhancing student-teacher interactions. These include trailblazing initiatives such as smart learning programs,

revised curricula with a focus on imparting math and science education in English, new teacher licensing and
evaluation systems, as well as updated codes of conduct. The FIRST® LEGO® League Challenge, in line with these

initiatives and Centena Group’s vision, aims to equip students with essential STEM skills through practical, mentor-
based programs, while promoting the integration of robotics, AI, and EdTech in K-12 education in the UAE.
