Cost & Registration
FIRST LEGO League’s three divisions inspire youth to experiment and grow their critical thinking, coding, and design skills through hands-on STEM learning centered around a yearly theme.
2024-2025 SUBMERGEDSM Season
Costs for starting a FIRST LEGO League team vary depending on the division and level of participation. There are never any “per student” fees; all costs for individual team members are assumed by the team as a group.
FIRST believes all kids need equitable access to opportunity, relevant mentorship, and engagement to build a foundation for a bright future. We are available to assist teams in securing funding when extra help is needed. Registered teams also receive complimentary access to FIRST fundraising tools and resources to help teams create their own opportunities. Grants and sponsorships for teams may also be available provided locally, regionally, and nationally by many corporations.
Effective when the FIRST Dashboard opens in May for the 2025-2026 season, FIRST LEGO League registration fees for teams and Class Packs in the U.S. and Canada who register through the FIRST Dashboard will increase. Additionally, costs for some products purchased through the FIRST Dashboard will increase. Read the full announcement on the FIRST Community blog.
