A: How the three-division FIRST LEGO League turns LEGO kits into a full-stack STEM playground, why its robot game physics resonates with IP coursework.
TL;DR
FIRST LEGO League (FLL) packages mechanical design, block-based coding and real-world research into a yearly, theme-driven challenge that scales from kindergarten to teen engineers.
For IP students chasing A-Level Physics and H2 Mathematics mastery, the competition provides low-stakes, high-feedback cycles on vectors, torque and data logging long before WA crunch time hits.
Registration quick answer (Singapore): Coaches register teams via FIRST LEGO League Singapore; divisions and timelines vary each season. Confirm current instructions, eligibility and deadlines on the national site: https://www.firstlegoleague.sg/ (global overview: https://www.firstlegoleague.org/)
