Start the two-level registration process with national FIRST® registration on the national FIRST® site, registration for FIRST® LEGO® League Explore opens in May. Your national FIRST® registration fee pays for challenge and basic team materials. To ensure our youth are safe, all program volunteers, coaches, and mentors must be screened as part of the FIRST® Youth Protection Program.

Team Registration Fee: $114 per season

If you are a new team, registering for the first time, you will also need to purchase a LEGO® Education WeDo 2.0 Core Set, which can be done during the registration process.

All teams register with both national FIRST® and FIRST® Washington. FIRST® Washington registration covers delivery of the program, support for coaches and mentors, and events. After the registration is completed, you will receive communication regarding FIRST® events!
