FIRST LEGO League Challenge is a research and robotics tournament for Year 5 and 6 learners at Mayfair.

 

Every year, the students work on a joint project for several weeks as a team. They plan, construct and program an autonomous robot, conduct research on a topic of their own choice and prepare a presentation of their findings. The educational program focuses on  FIRST`s core values of respectful interaction, shared experience and critical thinking.

 

After several weeks of preparation, teams participate in a school event with the most exceptional and diverse learners participating in a regional competition day and the Nationals in Auckland. A the events learners present their findings in the categories of Research, Robot Game, Robot Design, and Core Values.

​

If teams are successful at the national event in Auckland they have an opportunity to represent New Zealand at international invitationals or the world festival in the USA. 

​

Mayfair has a proud history of success.
