BPX Grant Participation Confirmation 2025-26 | Louisiana FIRST LEGO League

Welcome to FIRST AGE presented by Qualcomm, our 2025-2026 robotics season inspired by archaeology! We do not yet have confirmation of BPX funding for next season, but it seems likely. If you would like to get ahead of the game and ready to jump in as soon as funding is confirmed, please complete the following form to assure that registrations can be processed and equipment ordered as soon as the funding is confirmed.

Also, for orders to be processed, both coaches (FIRST requires 2 coaches) must log into their FIRST dashboard at firstinspires.org and click on MY DASHBOARD in the upper right corner and sign:

the required Consent Form, and
the Youth Protection Program (YPP) Agreement. The YPP training is good for 3 years, so this should just be a signature on a form for returning coaches.

If the team is in someone else’s name and there is a new coach for the team, please contact Annette Oertling to request instructions for assigning a new coach . Do not pay for registration or order LEGO materials, as FIRST Louisiana Mississippi, Inc. will place those orders.
