Himalayan Hacker 2024 – 2025

Himalayan Hacker 2024 – 2025 is dedicated to guiding youth through STEM learning and exploration with FIRST LEGO League. Our program consists of four teams—two in FLL Explore and two in FLL Challenge—providing students with hands-on experiences in robotics, problem-solving, and teamwork.

From Explore to Challenge, students develop a strong foundation in STEM, applying their skills in an exciting competition while fostering confidence, critical thinking, and collaboration.

This season’s theme, SUBMERGED, takes students on an underwater adventure, encouraging them to explore the challenges and innovations related to ocean exploration and marine technology.
