Exciting Launch of the 'FIRST® LEGO® League' Challenge Round hosted by ATLAB
aims to equip participants with essential skills that are not only applicable to their educational pursuits but also relevant to
potential future careers in STEM fields.

ATLAB has strategically aligned with various prominent institutions within the UAE, such as ASCS from the Bukhatir Group,
Nord Anglia International School, Royal Grammar School Guildford, Aldar Schools, and GEMS Education. This collaboration

seeks to expand the reach of the FLL Challenge, thus significantly enhancing student participation across the country.

Categories Designed for Aspiring Innovators

The FLL Challenge is structured to cater to a broad age spectrum, segmented into three distinct categories:

1. Discover (Ages 4–6): This category emphasizes the importance of early exposure to STEM disciplines through playful, team-

based challenges that capture young imaginations.

2. Explore (Ages 6–10): Participants in this category engage in activities that hone critical thinking, coding, and design

capabilities through STEM-based tasks.

3. Challenge (Ages 9–16): This category empowers older students to confront real-world issues by utilizing robotics and
advanced applications of STEM.

The Vision of ATLAB

Nilesh Korgaonkar, CEO of ATLAB, articulated the transformative influence of the FLL program by stating, “FIRST® LEGO®

League inspires students to think critically, collaborate effectively, and explore their creative potential. By participating,
students gain hands-on experience with cutting-edge educational tools, fostering problem-solving and leadership skills. To
support this journey, ATLAB provides official FLL and LEGO Education kits, available on our e-commerce platform
