“The demographic for where we are
in the UK is a very, very poor area. The main impact of children taking part in FIRST® LEGO® League is confidence. Being able to provide them with a platform to go and express themselves and achieve what I believe they can, is so rewarding. When they look back on what they’ve done, they’re the ones who feel privileged, they’re the ones who have experienced things others never will. Giving those experiences and showing the children they can do amazing things is what FIRST® LEGO® League is all about.” David Davies HLTA,St Thomas’ CE Primary School
