Junior Botball Challenge - Reuse. Rebuild. Relearn

Your Next Challenge Starts Here!

Keep Building. Keep Learning. Keep Competing.

You’ve invested time, passion, and creativity into building LEGO-based robots. Why let those hard-earned skills collect dust? Why let your “old” kits sit on a shelf or be forced to buy new kits for the same challenge? Reuse your equipment — Extend your learning — Get More from the Robot Kits You Already Own! With the Junior Botball Challenge (JBC), your existing robot kits aren’t old — they’re battle-tested tools ready for a new kind of challenge.

Educators and students can reuse equipment they already have in the classroom to take on new robotic JBC challenges that will help build real coding confidence, hands-on engineering skills, and critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

Extend the Life of Your Robotics Equipment

Whether your LEGO kits are brand new, a few seasons old, or years in the making, they’re still packed with potential. JBC gives students the chance to push beyond basic builds and take on real autonomous robotics challenges using the equipment you already own.

Bring your kits and creativity to JBC and watch your students:

★ DEEPEN their coding skills through autonomous robot challenges
★ APPLY the Engineering Design Process in fresh new ways
★ COLLABORATE and solve real problems with hands-on building and teamwork
★ BUILD confidence through trial, error, and real-world troubleshooting
★ EXPLORE sensors and autonomous decision-making (no remote controls required!)
★ ADVANCE from beginner coding into text-based programming options
★ SHOWCASE their progress at local and regional challenge events every year
