Help get these enthusiastic little legends to Houston to demonstrate our famous Kiwi ingenuity and sportsmanship on the world stage

After winning the First LEGO League NZ Nationals, our squad of young legends is gearing up for the ultimate challenge — First LEGO League World Championship in Houston, Texas!!

🌍 Our Mission:

Proudly represent New Zealand and showcase the inventive spirit that our beautiful country is known for. With your support, we aim to compete to our highest capabilities as well as connect with like-minded young enthusiasts from around the globe

🚀 The Journey So Far:

With a passion for Robotics and a dash of Kiwi ingenuity, our diverse team of future engineers, programmers, and innovators has been diligently preparing for months. The team have designed and built LEGO robots and attachments to complete a series of tasks for the Robot games as well as the addressing a real-world challenge: making it easier for children everywhere to learn music as part of their innovation project.

We have amazing sponsors backing the team, along with the supportive Taradale Primary School, PTA, and community. We are getting super close to achieving our fundraising goals and hope the wider NZ community will support our team and follow our story.
