Sponsorship
Our heartfelt thanks to all the sponsors, suppliers, partners, and individuals who have helped us make an impact on the youth of Newfoundland and Labrador.
Looking to make a difference in the lives of youth in Newfoundland and Labrador? Want to inspire the next generation of scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs? Consider being a sponsor for FIRST LEGO League Newfoundland and Labrador.
FIRST LEGO League Newfoundland and Labrador (FLLNL) is run through a non-profit organization, Levitate Learning. Levitate Learning cannot deliver its STEM-based programming to the youth of our province without the generous support of sponsors. From the materials the teams need to compete to the award plaques at the competition, a program like FLLNL is an expensive endeavour. But the experience and skills the participant’s gain is well worth the cost.
Benefits of Sponsorship
- Strengthens company bonds within the community
- Builds a technologically literate workforce
- Exposes career opportunities to youth
- Provides employee team building opportunities
- Provides renewed inspiration to employees
- Supports youth within our province

Designing a robot is more than just connecting LEGO, the missions require the robot to navigate, capture, transport, or deliver objects. The more missions completed, the more points teams earn. Teams have 2.5 minutes to complete as many mission tasks as they can.
All in-kind donations will be counted at an agreed upon monetary value and applied to the tiers above.
Material Donations
Looking to help out in a more concrete way? Consider the following sponsorship/donation items. FLLNL will put your donation towards a specific item to reduce the barrier to entry for a team. Note that material donations are limited based on the number of participating teams.
The value of all material donations will be applied to the tiers above.
Purchase a Challenge Kit- $200
A Challenge Kit includes the mat for the robot game and all the LEGO required to build the mission models. Teams need at least one Challenge Kit to practise with, and the competition needs 12 Challenge Kits to operate. If you would like to build the mission models for a competition Challenge Kit (an excellent teamwork exercise for employees), FLLNL can deliver the kit to you.
Purchase a base SPIKE Prime Kit - $600
Each team needs at least the base SPIKE Prime Kit, to participate in the FLLNL competition. This kit includes the programmable brick, 3 motors, some sensors, and nearly 500 LEGO pieces.
Purchase a SPIKE Prime Expansion Kit - $300
While a base kit is required for a team to participate in the FLLNL competition, an expansion kit gives a team access to more sensors, more motors, and more LEGO pieces to build tools.
Purchase a Team Registration - $400
FIRST registration fees are outside the control of FLLNL and these fees do not directly contribute to local delivery of programming. These fees are often a barrier to entry for teams.
