Spring Series 2026 Registration is Open!

We are excited to provide our eight season of the Spring Series FIRST LEGO League Challenge for teams in 2026! Once again, we will be hosting a series of four FLL Robot Game events. Each of these will be hosted at the GEARS facility in Osceola.

Teams are encouraged to share, observe, advise, or simply visit with other teams at each event so they can learn from each other. Since each competition is spread 4 weeks apart, teams will have ample time to modify their robots or adjust their strategy in an effort to improve their performance at the next event.

Events will be held on the mornings of:

- - - February 7, 2026
    - March 7, 2026
    - April 4, 2026
    - May 2, 2026

If you have a student in 3rd through 8th grade that would like to be on a team that meets at GEARS, please use this registration form.

If you coach a team that meets at a location other than GEARS, please fill out this form.
