Welcome FIRST in Missouri region teams! We’re excited to have you join us for the UNEARTHED™ season.

National registration is open for the season, and you can start your UNEARTHED™ journey any time you like. The culminating event for FIRST® LEGO® League Explore teams is the opportunity to get together with other teams and share what you learned. These are fun, family-friendly, short events called Festivals.

We traditionally hold Festivals in the spring. However, some teams may have completed their journey earlier in the year, and we are happy to facilitate earlier events with interested teams.

Here’s where you’ll find more details about this season’s challenge.  We also keep coaches up to date with an email newsletter (check your inbox and junk folder) and on our Facebook page!  Be sure to follow us!

Festival registration has not opened. Registration will open in January.
