The Cyprus Computer Society (CCS) is organizing the FIRST® LEGO® League (FLL Cyprus) 2025, bringing together young robotics enthusiasts from across the country.

This year’s event, titled "Submerged", will challenge 230 students from kindergarten, primary, secondary, and technical schools to explore the ocean through creative robotics missions.

The FIRST® LEGO® League is the world’s largest robotics competition, offering children aged 4 to 16 the opportunity to learn, collaborate, and have fun in an educational and interactive environment.

The championship will take place on Saturday, March 15, at the European University Cyprus Cultural Center, from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. The event is open to the public.

The Chief Scientist for Research, Innovation, and Technology, Demetris Skourides, will deliver a keynote address, while Dr. Elena Hatzikakou, Director of the Pedagogical Institute, will speak on behalf of the Minister of Education, Sports, and Youth.

Beyond robotics challenges, the event will also feature team-building and interactive activities for both participants and visitors, all centered around the oceanic theme.

The winning teams of the FLL Challenge will represent Cyprus at two international FIRST® LEGO® League competitions in the United States and Greece. Additionally, one team from FLL Explore will be selected via a lottery to participate in a global event in the United States.

The Research and Innovation Foundation is sponsoring the participation of Cypriot teams in international competitions.

The FIRST® LEGO® League Cyprus 2025 is organized by CCS in collaboration with Eduact and IET Cyprus and is held under the auspices of the Ministry of Education, Sports, and Youth.

The FLL Cyprus 2025 – Submerged event is also part of the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development.
