FIRST® LEGO® League Resources

Getting Started

This year, the FIRST® LEGO® League challenge, UNEARTHED™, is centered around the Kelsey Museum’s favorite topic: archaeology! 

We know you have lots of questions about archaeology, the problems archaeologists face, and the technologies they use to uncover the past. To help you get started with your research, the Archaeology Institute of America has shared several resources and answered some common questions on its website.

Schedule a Tour

Want to come to the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology? Arrange a tour with your class, club, or FIRST Robotics group for a deep dive into the archaeology of ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, and the Middle East!

Talk to an Archaeologist

Chat with an archaeologist! Kelsey Museum students and staff are experts on the ancient world and on the technology needed to uncover it. Contact us to set up a virtual meeting with a Kelsey rep, or sign up for the Skype a Scientist program to get matched with archaeologists from around the world.

Attend Family Day

Our next Family Day is on Sunday, October 5, from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM. This year, the event is all about archaeology and technology—activities will center around supporting the FIRST® LEGO® League challenge.
