BIOGLOW season is live

Curious kids.
Brilliant builds.

Robo Wizards is a hands-on learning club where students build robots, explore code, solve real problems, and grow into thoughtful teammates.

A place to grow

Every student gets a way in.

Some kids begin with bricks. Others love code, research, storytelling, or testing. We rotate roles so each learner can discover strengths and build new ones.

🧱

Build thoughtfully

Turn sketches into sturdy mechanisms and learn why structures work.

Code with purpose

Use Scratch-style word blocks first, then progress toward Python when ready.

🔬

Test like an engineer

Change one variable, collect evidence, and make improvements that matter.

🤝

Lead with kindness

Listen, share control, explain ideas, and help teammates succeed.

FIRST LEGO League Challenge

More than a robot competition.

At a tournament, teams are evaluated equally across four areas. Strong teams show what they learned, how they improved, and how they worked together - not just their final robot score.

01

Core Values

How students discover, innovate, make an impact, include others, work as a team, and have fun throughout the season.

Observed throughout judging and the Robot Game
02

Innovation Project

Identify a real biodiversity problem, research it, design an original solution, improve it through feedback, and communicate it clearly.

Includes a five-minute live presentation
03

Robot Design

Explain mission strategy, robot and attachment design, code, testing evidence, changes, and how every teammate contributed.

Students explain their engineering process
04

Robot Game

Run an autonomous LEGO robot in timed matches. Teams normally receive three official attempts and the highest score counts.

Each match lasts 2 minutes 30 seconds
A typical tournament day

What families can expect

Exact order and timing vary by local event, but this is the common flow.

  1. Check in & pit setupReview the schedule and organize robot, attachments, and project materials.
  2. Judging sessionAbout 30 minutes for Innovation Project, Robot Design, Core Values evidence, questions, and feedback.
  3. Robot Game matchesTeams rotate through practice and official matches with referees at the competition tables.
  4. Celebration & awardsEvents celebrate learning, Gracious Professionalism, performance, and achievement across all four areas.
Core Values in action

How Robo Wizards work together

Core Values are not a memorization exercise. Students demonstrate them in meetings, judging, the pits, and at the Robot Game table.

Discovery

We explore new skills and ideas.

What did we learn that changed our plan?
Innovation

We use creativity and persistence to solve problems.

Show prototypes, failed attempts, and improvements.
Impact

We apply what we learn to improve our world.

Explain who the project helps and why it matters.
Inclusion

We respect each other and embrace our differences.

Make space for every voice and learning style.
Teamwork

We are stronger when we work together.

Share roles, decisions, challenges, and credit.
Fun

We enjoy and celebrate what we do!

Encourage teammates and celebrate progress.

Gracious Professionalism: high-quality work, respect, and valuing others.

Coopertition: helping and learning with other teams even while competing.

✓ Verified August 4, 2026FIRST LEGO League Challenge · Founders Edition

BIOGLOW is officially here.

Teams explore the vibrancy of ecosystems through a rainforest-inspired Robot Game and an Innovation Project focused on biodiversity.

OFFICIAL RELEASE15Robot Game missionsRulebook, notebook, videos, judging and scoring resources are now available.
Robot Game

2½-minute autonomous matches

Plan mission runs, design attachments, program the robot, and build repeatability.

New strategy

Interchangeable docks

Before each match, teams choose how to place the mine, city, and farm models used by Missions 13–15.

Innovation Project

Protect biodiversity

Identify a problem that puts biodiversity at risk and create an innovative solution that can help.

Robot Game field guide

Fifteen missions.
One connected ecosystem.

Point summaries below are a quick planning aid. The official rulebook wording, diagrams, and Challenge Updates always take priority.

Quick rule dashboard

Know these before the first run.

These are starting points—not a substitute for reading the rulebook together.

Innovation Project

Find a biodiversity risk.
Design a way to help.

The team will research an authentic problem, study existing solutions, create and represent an original idea, gather feedback, improve it, and share a five-minute live presentation.

01

Aerial technology

How could drones or other aerial tools safely help rainforest ecosystems?

02

Local ecosystem tools

How could familiar tools be used in an innovative way to support a local ecosystem?

03

Restore land

How could damaged land be restored for native plants and animals?

04

Study wildlife

How could camera traps, tracking devices, or other tools better support wildlife research?

Outcome: calm, prepared, confident students
Parent Center

Simple information. Thoughtful privacy.

Families should know what students are learning, what to bring, and how to help—without exposing private student information.

Forms & event details

Permission forms, transportation, and rosters remain restricted to authorized families.

Open parent folder →

Volunteer with us

Help as a biodiversity expert, practice judge, event helper, or snack coordinator.

🔒
Privacy by design

No public student rosters, full names, family contacts, attendance, individual scores, or unapproved photographs.

Official resources

Start with the source.

We will explain rules in student-friendly language, but official FIRST documents and Challenge Updates remain authoritative.

Quiz Center preview

Practice that feels like play.

Short, distraction-free quizzes will help students learn missions, rules, Core Values, sensors, and coding—with explanations instead of public rankings.
