Dig into UNEARTHED™!

During this archaeology-inspired season, teams use STEM and collaboration skills to unearth new findings about themselves and their collective communities to help build a better world.

 

FIRST Core Values

The FIRST Core Values emphasize friendly sportsmanship, respect for the contributions of others, teamwork, learning, and community involvement and are part of our commitment to fostering, cultivating, and preserving a culture of unity.

 

Innovation Project

During UNEARTHED, teams were challenged to identify and research a problem faced by archaeologists and propose a solution. At tournaments, judges evaluate how the team used the engineering design process and Core Values in their work.

 

Robot Design

Teams work together to design, build, and program a LEGO robot with unique attachments and code that will complete missions in the robot game. They test and iterate on their design to successfully complete missions in the robot game, developing their building and coding skills along the way.

 

Robot Game

Using the robot they designed, teams race against the clock to complete as many missions as they can in each 2.5-minute match. The UNEARTHED game consists of 15 archaeology-

inspired missions that test the team’s engineering skills.
