The Role OF A Coach

As a coach in FIRST® LEGO® League Challenge, your job is to guide and support your team while allowing them to take ownership of their work. The team will look to you to help them stay organized, ask thoughtful questions, and provide tools or resources when needed. You don’t need to be an engineer to be a great coach – your goal is to create a space where creativity, curiosity, and teamwork thrive and every team member feels empowered to contribute.

Coaches in FIRST® LEGO® League Challenge will:

- Facilitate Problem-Solving and Exploration: Guide the team as they design and program their robot, tackle the robot game missions, and develop their innovation project solution.
- Promote Teamwork: Encourage team members to share ideas, collaborate, and respect each other’s contributions. Ensure every voice is heard and every team member feels valued.
- Champion Core Values: Model the FIRST® Core Values of discovery, innovation, impact, inclusion, teamwork, and fun. Celebrate how your team demonstrates these values inside and outside of team meetings.
- Prepare the Team for Events: Help the team organize their work, practice presenting to judges, and get comfortable explaining their robot, programming, and project solution.
- Be a Role Model: Celebrate every step of progress, no matter how big or small. Encourage resilience, a growth mindset, and a willingness to tackle new challenges
