First Lego League - Utah

03/26/2025

Over the past decade, Weber State University has served as the FIRST Program Delivery Organization for the FIRST LEGO League programs in Utah.

WSU will be stepping down from our role as FIRST's Program Delivery Organization in Utah, effective March 31, 2025. We have enjoyed the journey and still hope to host a regional qualifier each season at WSU.

FIRST will begin the process of selecting a new Program Delivery Organization for the 2025-26 season very soon and will be in touch with teams when they are ready to make an announcement. Please check the email address you provided to FIRST during team registration regularly over the summer to make sure you don’t miss any of these important updates. Once a new Program Delivery Organization is named, we ask that you exercise patience and your very best Gracious Professionalism with your new Program Delivery Organization as they step up to fill a very big job.

We wish you all the best in the coming season and beyond!

Today, STEM skills are needed in nearly every role in every industry.

The Impact You Make as a FIRST® Volunteer
