As part of the FIRST® LEGO® LEAGUE, an annual robotics competition is held at the Ostbayerische Technische Hochschule Regensburg (OTH Regensburg). Teams of 3-10 people, whose members are between 9 and 16 years old and are coached by an 18-year-old or older, can take part. After an 8-week preparation period, the teams take part in a regional competition in November/December.
The competition is a worldwide support programme that aims to introduce children and young people to science and technology in a sporting atmosphere. Each year, the competition has a new theme, which always relates to the current development and situation in the world.
