The theme of this year’s FIRST® LEGO® League Explore season is UNEARTHED.Through the UNEARTHED challenge, learners will develop an appreciation for the work of historians and an in-depth understanding of the archaeological process by investigating the past as if they are a team of archaeologists. Our archaeological discoveries teach us how past civilisations and cultures interacted with their environments and each other, providing important insights into the human story. As much of human history remains undiscovered, curious minds are now offered opportunities to dig deep, unearthing more hidden stories to understand ways of life in the past. Throughout their engagement in the UNEARTHED challenge and this authentic real-world investigation, learners will develop confidence, critical thinking, and design skills through hands-on learning. They will also develop an understanding of how archaeology helps uncover cultural histories through the study of artefacts, providing insight into how people have interacted with our planet and each other throughout history, and how these sites and relics require exploration and careful preservation.
