The Junior FIRST LEGO League is a spin-off of the FLL program. The JFLL is for elementary school age children.

Created in partnership with the LEGO Group, Junior FIRST LEGO League (JFLL) is geared to children aged 6 to 9 years old and utilizes a modified FIRST LEGO League (FLL) framework.

Teams of up to 6 children and an adult mentor receive a "mini challenge", based on the annual FLL research project. Using an open-ended LEGO building set, they will design a model depicting an aspect of this year’s FLL Challenge. Children will spend approximately one month exploring, investigating, designing and building a model made with LEGO bricks. In conjunction, teams create a "Show Me" poster that depicts the teams’ experience during this process, through drawings and words.

Teams are encouraged to gather together and hold local events to share their experiences with family and friends. Anyone is able to hold an event - tips, suggestions, and "how to" are offered in the JFLL Event Guide.
