We're Inspiring Leaders in Science, Engineering & Technology with exciting mentor-based programs that promote innovation and foster self-confidence. GET INVOLVED
Our goal is to increase access to the FIRST® progression of programs, from FIRST® LEGO® League to the FIRST® Robotics Competition, ranging from ages 4 to 18 years old. We organize competitive events in all three FIRST® programs as well as non-competitive, showcase, training, workshops and informative events.
Ages 4-14FLL® gives elementary & middle school students the opportunity to research a real-world problem, then create an original solution for it.
Grades 7-12FTC® middle & high school teams are challenged to design and build a robot using a kit of parts and common set of rules to play a game.
Grades 9-12FRC® challenges high school students to design & build a robot in 6 weeks using a standard kit of parts to compete in a regional competition.
