FIRST® LEGO® League is one of the world's largest technology and knowledge competitions for children and youth. This year, the competition celebrates its 25th anniversary, which we believe deserves both applause and attention. We have been fortunate to be part of the team since the beginning, and we want to continue – because we support and believe in what FIRST® LEGO® League stands for.
Equally important is our belief that both society and business will needmore of the curiosity, creativity, ability to collaborate, and interest in STEM subjects that FIRST® LEGO® League inspires. Because each year, tens of thousands of teams from over 100 countries collaborate to solve a challenge related to a theme within science and technology. Using robots, programming, and their own ingenuity, they have to come up with solutions to various problems.
In other words, the competition isn’t all that different from what we at Equinor do every day. Each day, 24,000 employees go to work to search for better solutions—often with the help of robots, programming, and their own minds, among other things. Through collaboration in science and technology, we work every day to accelerate the energy transition, but we’ll need more bright minds and skilled hands in the future to solve these tasks. That is why we sponsor FIRST® LEGO® League.
