Exciting Launch of the 'FIRST® LEGO® League' Challenge Round hosted by ATLAB
This initiative is not merely a competition; it serves as a comprehensive educational experience that is steeped in experiential
learning principles.

A Stage for Global Recognition

The triumphs of the UAE FLL Challenge participants extend beyond national borders. The winners will have the prestigious
opportunity to represent the UAE at various international festivals across the USA, Australia, Norway, and Europe. Notably, the
UAE team previously garnered significant acclaim by clinching the ‘Best Robot Performance Award’ during the 2023-24 season,

establishing a benchmark for excellence on a global stage.

Aligning with National Educational Strategies

The FLL Challenge stands in alignment with the UAE’s broader educational objectives, particularly those encapsulated in the

‘UAE Centennial 2071’, ‘Vision 2021’, and the ‘National Innovation Strategy.’ These initiatives aim to foster an innovative
culture, elevate STEM educational standards, and prepare students for futures teeming with possibilities. Furthermore, the
competition is interwoven with the ‘UAE Artificial Intelligence Strategy 2031’ and the ‘UAE Science, Technology, and Innovation

Policy,’ which collectively aspire to elevate the nation’s educational framework.

Through collaborative and mentor-led programs, the competition underscores the integration of robotics, artificial intelligence,

and educational technology (EdTech) into K-12 curricula. Such measures reinforce the UAE’s commitment to building a
competency-based knowledge economy that champions innovation and creativity.

In summary, the FIRST® LEGO® League Challenge creates not only a platform for competition but also a fertile ground for
future leaders in STEM. This initiative reflects the UAE’s dedication to cultivating a robust educational ecosystem that prepares

its youth for the challenges and opportunities of tomorrow.
