LEGO Robotics Workshop: FIRST LEGO League Founders Edition

Hands-on Workshop

Come and learn about programming and robotics using LEGO Spike Prime robots. Harrison and Adam, members of award-winning US robotics team Wolfpack Machina, are offering a free one-day workshop suitable for students ages 11 years and up.

This workshop will offer the chance to learn the programming and robot design skills needed for FIRST LEGO League (FLL) Founders Edition teams to improve their performance in the robot game portion of an FLL competition.

In August 2025, Harrison and Adam taught robotics workshops at Tūhura Otago Museum, which resulted in nine new FLL teams starting. One of these teams won the FIRST LEGO League New Zealand Championship and then went on to represent New Zealand at the World Championship in the United States in April 2026.

Workshop participants under 14 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

Note: The same workshop is being offered on Wednesday 15 July.

10am – 3pm, Tuesday 14 July and Wednesday 15 July
Postmaster Gallery, HD Skinner Annex
Free – Bookings Essential

This a really good workshop to recommend to teams that already use Spike Prime and want to learn some more advanced programming and building techniques. We designed the workshop to increase the ability of FLL robots to score more points in a consistent manner.
