In 2018, Waggrakine joined forces with other Midwest schools to begin implementing a local Lego League. The League involves a group of students working together to develop team work and cooperation skills whilst designing and building a Lego robot. The robot is then programmed to complete 2-3 of the League challenges, which revolve around a different theme each year.
