“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.”
