Ocean Experts are Making Waves of Inspiration for your #SUBMERGED Season
September 6, 2024
Last week, thousands of students, coaches, volunteers, sponsors, and STEM supporters came together in Houston, TX, USA to celebrate the FIRST® Championship presented by BAE Systems. The week was filled with friendly competition, exciting innovation, and lots of Gracious Professionalism® as we commemorated the conclusion of the 2023-2024 arts-inspired season, FIRST® IN SHOWSM presented by Qualcomm.
The FIRST® LEGO® League World Festival at the FIRST Championship hosted 152 FIRST® LEGO® League Challenge teams and 39 FIRST® LEGO® League Explore teams from around the world to explore the role STEM plays in the arts and work together to design a world of endless possibilities. In the 2023-2024 MASTERPIECESM challenge, teams imagined and innovated new ways to create and communicate art across the globe.
