First Lego League Team

Registration for the 2026–2027 season opens on mid August.

To receive ongoing updates and messages throughout the course of the summer about the team, parents are welcome to register for the “Fall 2026 FLL Interest Sign Up” (under “wait list”).

Requirements to Qualify for Application to Celsius and Beyond’s Lemons Team:
1. Attend this bootcamp on August 10-14 – Mandatory
2. Attend one Advanced Robotics camp this summer
3. Sign up online on August 20

The season is short, and the team needs to be fully prepared and working at a high level from day one.

What the Olympics are for sports, and the Nobel Prize is for science, FIRST Lego Robotics is for kid’s engineering. Join Celsius and Beyond’s award-winning team this Fall to participate in the world’s most prestigious robotics competition for youth.
Using LEGO’s platform, software, and rules, You will learn about project management, computer programming, robotics design, analytic thinking, problem-solving, research skills, long-term projects, presentation skills, open-ended tasks, and, best of all, working as a team.

Fee: $1,750—Includes more than 20 hours of semi-private instruction, group instruction, approximately 15 hour of additional hours before competition, instructor time at the competition, competition material, registration for the program and the competition.

A team effort worthy of an award requires many hours.  Each student is expected to participate in at least 80% of the weekly and pre-competition meetings.

FIRST LEGO League is built on active parent participation, and it’s essential that families are fully involved. This is not a drop-off program. Parents play a key role in supporting their child’s success by helping with research, guiding presentation rehearsals, contributing to marketing, and yes, schlepping your child to and from the many meetings.

Our admired instructors, Jae and Trevor, will lead the team.
Jae led the FLL robotics team for 17 years, 9 of them at Celsius. As the founder of STREAM Foundation, he has been involved in robotics classes, projects, and outreach programs. He is currently a software process automation developer.

Meeting time: Sundays.  First meeting: September 7, 2026
Hours: 10 am – 2pm
The entire team will study the challenge, design the robot, and strategize

October and November: choose between 10-12 pm or 12-2 pm
Each pair will be working with one of the instructors for 2 hours.

November: 10-2 pm and evening time
Numerous practice and troubleshooting sessions before the competition.

Competition Day: A weekend day from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., sometime in November. The organizer determines the exact date at a later time.

The Regional Competition in mid-November will be held in the Bay Area [15 to 60-minute drive].

FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) is an organization that helps young people discover and develop a passion for science. It was founded 20 years ago by MIT scientists and attracted 300,000 students from 51 countries last year!
