• FLL Discover — PreK–Grade 1, ages 4–6
• FLL Explore — Grades 2–4, ages 6–10
• FLL Challenge — Grades 4–8, ages 9–14

FIRST also offers two advanced levels — FIRST Tech Challenge and FIRST Robotics Competition — for older students ready to take their skills further.

Many of RenLUG’s founders got their start in FIRST LEGO League and Junior FIRST Lego League as kids — these programs are where our community’s roots in STEM outreach and collaboration began. That connection continues today: several RenLUG members are actively mentoring FIRST teams and/or volunteering at FIRST events, bringing their experience full circle and helping inspire the next generation of builders, engineers, and innovators.
