In short FIRST LEGO League coding help means learning to program the LEGO robot a team launches in the robot game. In the 2026 to 2027 BIOGLOW season, the final FIRST LEGO League season, a Challenge match lasts 2.5 minutes, the robot runs autonomously on the team’s own code, and only the highest of three matches counts. Modern Age Coders teaches that coding live online, in a batch or 1-on-1.

The 2026 to 2027 season is BIOGLOW, a biodiversity challenge released on August 4, 2026 as part of the FIRST CANOPY season. FIRST says it will be the final season of FIRST LEGO League, and it comes in two editions, Founders and Future, which use different LEGO Education hardware. | Option | Grades | Hardware | What the team does | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Founders Edition: Explore | Grades 2 to 4 (ages 6 to 10) | LEGO Education SPIKE Essential | Design, code and discover solutions; no competitive robot game | | Founders Edition: Challenge | Grades 4 to 8 (ages 9 to 16, varies by country) | LEGO Education SPIKE Prime | Program a robot to complete missions autonomously in two-and-a-half minute matches | | Future Edition | Grades K to 2, and grades 3 to 8 | LEGO Education Computer Science & AI kits | Build and code wireless hardware in an alliance-based game across the mat | ### The four parts of Challenge FIRST’s BIOGLOW season overview gives Challenge four equally weighted parts: Core Values, Innovation Project, Robot Design and Robot Game. Coding sits inside two of them. The robot game is the code running; robot design is where judges ask how the team built and programmed it. The same overview describes the BIOGLOW robot game as 15 biodiversity-inspired missions, and Challenge teams as groups of up to 10 children. ### Who can join in the US The Challenge participation rules linked from the 2026 to 2027 materials say US and Canada participants must not be younger than 9 or older than 14, and a competitive team has two to ten children. FIRST’s June 17, 2026 registration post says US and Canada teams sign up through a refreshed FIRST Dashboard, and a group with both kinds of LEGO kit can register one team for each edition. Sources: [FIRST LEGO League program page](https://www.firstinspires.org/programs/fll), the [BIOGLOW season materials](https://www.firstinspires.org/resources/library/fll/season-materials) (season overview and participation rules) and FIRST’s community blog, read 31 October 2026.

After this season ## What replaces FIRST LEGO League after 2026 to 2027? Two programs are announced for 2027 to 2028, one from each former partner. FIRST is building its own next generation of K to 8 programs, and LEGO Education is launching a program called LEGO League in August 2027. Neither has published its full game yet, so a US team choosing between them should read both announcements. | Point | FIRST next-generation K to 8 programs | LEGO League (LEGO Education) | | --- | --- | --- | | First season | The 2027 to 2028 FIRST season | Launching August 2027, for the 2027 to 2028 season | | Ages or grades | Kindergarten through grade 8 | Ages 5 to 16, in bands of 5 to 7 (grades K to 2) and 8 to 16 (grades 3 to 8) | | SPIKE kits | FIRST plans compatibility with SPIKE Prime and Essential through the 2028 to 2029 season | SPIKE and legacy hardware welcome in 2027 to 2028; from 2028 to 2029, Computer Science & AI kits required | | Coding | Not yet announced | Blocks in the LEGO Education Coding Canvas, or Python | | Names and details | New program names, game and hardware to be shared before 2027 to 2028 | Registration expected between March and May of 2027 | | Relationship | FIRST says its new programs are not sponsored, endorsed or affiliated with LEGO Education or the LEGO Group | LEGO Education says BIOGLOW is the final season of its collaboration with FIRST | ### What this means for a family now Nothing in the current season changes. FIRST says the 2026 to 2027 season goes ahead as planned, so a child on a Challenge team this year should simply enjoy the last BIOGLOW events and learn as much as they can. The coding a child learns this year carries into either successor. Both announcements describe team robotics with a themed game and a research project, and LEGO League names Python as its text option. ### One fact worth checking FIRST’s K to 8 FAQ says SPIKE products retire June 30, 2026, and points to LEGO Education for details. A team buying kits for next year should look at both successors’ hardware rules first. For a student in grade 7 or above, FIRST Tech Challenge continues for grades 7 to 12, so moving up is another route. Our [middle school coding competitions guide](/coding-competitions-for-middle-school-students) compares other options. Sources: [FIRST K-8 Programs: 2027 and Beyond](https://www.firstinspires.org/programs/k-8) (FAQ updated August 27, 2026) and [LEGO Education: Introducing LEGO League](https://education.lego.com/en-us/lego-league/program-update/), both read 31 October 2026. Details may change as both organizations publish more. Coding rules ## What does the BIOGLOW rulebook say about programming the robot? The rulebook asks for a robot that operates autonomously once launched and follows programming written by the team. Teams may use any software or programming language, but no remote control of any kind, and electric parts are limited. | Rule | What the rulebook says | | --- | --- | | Match | A timed period of 2.5 minutes in which the robot autonomously completes as many missions as possible | | Official matches | Three, and only the team’s best score counts toward awards and advancement | | Software | Any software or programming language | | Control | Autonomous outside home; no remote controllers of any type | | Electric parts | One controller, up to four motors in any mix, and only touch or force, color, distance or ultrasonic, and gyro sensors | | Program notes | One sheet of notebook paper per home area, not counted as equipment | | Launch | The robot and anything it is about to move must fit completely inside the launch area | | Inspection bonus | 20 points if all equipment fits in one launch area under 12 in. (305 mm) | ### Read the words exactly The rulebook warns that "All robot game wording means precisely and only what it says." For a programmer that cuts both ways: a mission condition must be met exactly as written, and a detail the rulebook does not mention does not matter. Challenge updates outrank the rulebook. FIRST’s October 14, 2026 updates allow a robot to release an interchangeable model from its dock with the built-in latch, so long as it does so autonomously, and say the leaves in one mission are randomized before every match. ### Why randomness changes the code If a model’s starting position is randomized, a program that drives to one fixed spot will sometimes miss. That is a nudge toward code that checks: drive until a sensor sees something, then act. The rulebook also lets teams calibrate sensors on any part of the mat during setup. A two-line calibration routine at the start of the first launch is cheap insurance against a strange gym light. Source: the [FIRST LEGO League Challenge BIOGLOW Robot Game Rulebook and Challenge Updates](https://www.firstinspires.org/resources/library/fll/season-materials) (updated October 14th, 2026). Short phrases only; read the full rulebook before your event. Precision tokens ## How do precision tokens affect a coding plan? A team starts each match with six precision tokens worth 50 points, and loses one each time technicians interrupt the robot outside home. The points fall unevenly as tokens go, so the first rescue costs nothing and the second costs the most. | Tokens left | Points (rulebook) | Cost of losing the last one (ours) | | --- | --- | --- | | 6 | 50 | none, the starting value | | 5 | 50 | 0 | | 4 | 35 | 15 | | 3 | 25 | 10 | | 2 | 15 | 10 | | 1 | 10 | 5 | ### What the table tells a coder One rescue per match is free. If the robot is about to wander into a mission model it will wreck, grabbing it outside home costs no points the first time, and that is worth knowing before the match. The second rescue is the expensive one. A program that needs saving twice a match is giving away 15 points, which is often more than a whole mission is worth. Fixing the run that fails is better than practicing the rescue. ### Code that comes home The cheapest interruption is none: a run that ends with the robot back in home lets technicians handle it freely. So every run should end with a drive home, and the time for that drive belongs in the plan. We teach students to write the return trip first, test it until it never fails, and only then add the mission in the middle. A run that always comes home is a run that never costs a token. Top of three ## Should a team code for reliability or for a high score? It depends on the scoring rule, and in Challenge only the highest of three official matches counts. When the top attempt is what matters, a bolder plan that sometimes fails can beat a steady plan on average, even though it scores less in a typical single match. | Plan | Missions attempted | Expected score, one match | Expected highest of three | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | A: steady | Five missions worth 20 each, each working 90 percent of the time | 90.0 | 98.6 | | B: bold | Three of those, plus one 60-point mission that works 45 percent of the time | 81.0 | 107.0 | ***Our model of top-of-three scoring**Python* ``` # Our model: which run plan wins when only the highest of three matches counts? # Mission points and success rates are invented for teaching. from itertools import product def outcomes(missions): """Every possible score for one match, with its probability.""" table = {} for result in product([0, 1], repeat=len(missions)): prob, score = 1.0, 0 for (points, p), hit in zip(missions, result): prob *= p if hit else 1 - p score += points if hit else 0 table[score] = table.get(score, 0) + prob return table def expected_top_of(table, n=3): """Expected value of the highest score in n independent matches.""" total, below = 0.0, 0.0 for score in sorted(table): at_or_below = below + table[score] total += score * (at_or_below ** n - below ** n) below = at_or_below return total plan_a = [(20, 0.90)] * 5 # five steady missions plan_b = [(20, 0.90)] * 3 + [(60, 0.45)] # three steady, one bold for name, plan in [("A", plan_a), ("B", plan_b)]: t = outcomes(plan) one = sum(s * p for s, p in t.items()) print(name, round(one, 1), round(expected_top_of(t), 1)) # prints: A 90.0 98.6 # B 81.0 107.0 ``` Our own teaching program, standard Python with no robot library. It lists every way a match can go, then works out the expected highest score across three matches. ### Why plan B can win In a single match plan A is better, 90.0 points against 81.0. But a team gets three tries and keeps the highest. Plan B’s big mission only has to come off once in three matches, and the chance of that is far higher than 45 percent. So under a top-of-three rule plan B’s expected top score is 107.0 against plan A’s 98.6. The rule of the game changed the right answer, and nothing about the robot did. ### When steady is still right If the goal is simply to reach 100 points at least once, plan A does it in about 93 matches out of every 100 by our numbers, and plan B in about 82. A team chasing a target, not a maximum, should prefer steady. Real teams also face a time limit plan B ignores: the bold mission may take longer to reset. The model is a way to think, not an order. Each team fills in its own robot’s numbers. **Worked example (ours).** Suppose your robot’s riskiest mission works 4 times in 10 practice runs. The chance it fails in all three official matches is 0.6 times 0.6 times 0.6, which is 0.216. So it succeeds in at least one match about 78 percent of the time. A mission that looks unreliable in one run is quite likely to land once in three, which is why top-of-three rewards keeping it in the plan. Practice set ## Practice problems for robot game planning Four original problems, written by us, at the level of a grade 5 to 8 Challenge team member. They use invented missions, not BIOGLOW’s, and each answer shows its reasoning. 1. **Tokens.** A team interrupts its robot outside home three times in one match. How many token points does it keep? *Answer:* six minus three leaves three tokens, which the rulebook values at 25 points, so the three rescues cost 25 of the starting 50. 2. **Inspection.** A team’s robot plus attachments fit in one launch area and stand 290 mm tall. Do they earn the inspection bonus? *Answer:* yes, because 290 mm is under the 305 mm limit and everything fits in one launch area, so 20 points. 3. **Once in three.** A mission works half the time. What is the chance it works in at least one of three matches? *Answer:* the chance of three failures is 0.5 cubed, or 0.125, so at least one success is 0.875, or 87.5 percent. 4. **Motors.** A team wants two drive motors, one arm motor and one motor for a spinning attachment, plus a spare arm swapped in between runs. Is that legal? *Answer:* the rulebook allows four motors in any one match, so four is the limit; a spare arm motor would make five and is not allowed in that match. ### How we use problems like these In class a student first guesses the answer, then works it out, then explains the gap. The guess-then-check habit is what makes a programmer suspicious of their own code in a useful way. The arithmetic is light on purpose. The real skill is translating a rule written in words into a number a team can act on. ### What we never do We do not solve the team’s BIOGLOW missions, write its robot code, or tell it which missions to choose. The participation rules say all work presented at events is the work of the children on the team, and we follow that. We teach ideas on our own invented missions, and students bring the ideas back to their team. Season plan ## An eight-week coding plan for a Challenge team member Our plan for a student who meets their team each week and adds one live lesson with us. It assumes the team already has a working robot and has started on missions. | Week | Lesson with us | Try with the team | | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | Sequences and units: degrees, rotations, seconds | Drive out and back to home five times | | 2 | Wait-until and sensors | Stop on a color line instead of a distance | | 3 | My Blocks and functions | Turn the return trip into one reusable block | | 4 | Conditions and calibration | A start-of-match light reading | | 5 | Counting reliability | Ten tries per run, success written down | | 6 | Tokens and rescues | Which run needs saving, and why | | 7 | Top of three planning | Fill in the planning model with real numbers | | 8 | Explaining code to judges | Talk through one program in two minutes | ### Blocks or Python? The rulebook lets teams use any software or language, so the choice is the team’s. Most younger members start with blocks, which make order and logic visible and remove typing mistakes. Older members often move to Python, and LEGO League names Python as its text option from 2027. We teach blocks first and then Python, so a child is ready for either. ### Robot design judging Judges in robot design want to hear how the team decided, tested and improved. A child who can show reliability counts and say why a run changed has something real to tell them. We help students learn to explain their own reasoning clearly. The engineering notebook, the code and the answers remain the team’s own. Readiness ## Four steps to becoming the team’s programmer Being able to build a robot and being able to program a reliable run are different skills. These are the steps between them, as we see them in class. | Step | What it looks like | | --- | --- | | 1. Order | Writes moves in the right order and runs them without help | | 2. Senses | Uses a sensor to decide when to stop or turn | | 3. Reuses | Builds functions or My Blocks so one fix changes every run | | 4. Weighs | Chooses missions with reliability counts and the top-of-three rule in mind | ### For parents and coaches Ask your child how often their run works out of ten. A child who knows the number is already thinking like an engineer; one who says "usually" has their next lesson. Under the participation rules, adults who over-instruct or prompt at events can be asked to leave. Coaching ideas at home is fine; the decisions at the table are the children’s. ### For students Write the drive home first. A run that always returns saves tokens and calms the technicians. Save a copy of the program before each change, and name it with the date. Going back to the last good version is faster than guessing.

Ritu Kedia Parent Questions from US families and coaches ## FIRST LEGO League coding: what people ask ### Is 2026-2027 the last season of FIRST LEGO League? Yes. FIRST says the 2026 to 2027 BIOGLOW season will be the final season of FIRST LEGO League, and LEGO Education says FIRST LEGO League comes to an end after BIOGLOW. The current season goes ahead as planned. ### What will replace FIRST LEGO League in 2027? Two programs have been announced. FIRST is launching its own next generation of K to 8 programs for the 2027 to 2028 season, and LEGO Education is launching LEGO League in August 2027 for ages 5 to 16. Program details are still being published by both. ### What programming language can an FLL Challenge robot use? Any. The BIOGLOW Robot Game Rulebook says teams can use any software or programming language, as long as the robot is autonomous outside home and no remote controller is used. Many teams use blocks, and some use Python. ### How long is a FIRST LEGO League robot game match? Two and a half minutes. The rulebook defines a match as 2.5 minutes in which the robot autonomously completes as many missions as possible. Teams play three official matches and only the highest score counts. ### How many motors and sensors can an FLL robot have? The BIOGLOW rulebook allows one controller and up to four motors in any one match. Sensors may be touch or force, color, distance or ultrasonic, and gyro, in any mix and number. ### What are precision tokens in FLL? Each team starts a match with six precision tokens worth 50 points and loses one each time it interrupts the robot outside home. Five tokens are still worth 50, four are worth 35 and three are worth 25, so the first rescue costs nothing and the second costs 15 points. ### What ages can join FIRST LEGO League Challenge in the US? The participation rules linked from the 2026 to 2027 materials say US and Canada participants must be between 9 and 14, on a team of two to ten children. FIRST lists Challenge for grades 4 to 8. ### Can a tutor or parent write our team's robot code? No. The participation rules say all work presented at events is the work of the children on the team. We teach programming ideas on our own invented missions, and the children write their team's code. ### Can we still use SPIKE Prime after FLL ends? For a while. FIRST plans to keep SPIKE Prime and Essential compatible with its new K to 8 programs through the 2028 to 2029 season, and LEGO League accepts SPIKE in 2027 to 2028 but requires Computer Science & AI kits from 2028 to 2029. ### When are your coding lessons? Weekdays or weekends, flexible: choose your batch, or for a very personalised plan choose 1-on-1 at your convenience, weekend mornings or weekdays. ### Are you part of FIRST or LEGO Education? No. Modern Age Coders is an independent coding school with no tie to FIRST, LEGO Education or the LEGO Group. FIRST LEGO League is a jointly held trademark of FIRST and the LEGO Group.
