Our robotics program consists of fifth through eighth grade students who meet twice a week to compete in the First Lego League (FLL) Challenge. FLL introduces science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) to children ages 4-14 through fun, exciting hands-on learning. Participants gain real-world problem-solving experience through a guided, global robotics program. They inspire youth to experiment and grow their critical thinking, coding, and design skills through hands-on STEM learning and robotics.
FIRST LEGO League Challenge teams prepare all season to compete at regional tournaments, where judges provide valuable feedback on their robot, code, and innovation project. The final test of their work comes at the Robot Game table, where they race against the clock for a personal best score and the chance to advance to a local championship.
Our young team has won their Regional Qualifying Competiton two years in a row, 2024 and 2025. Big DEAL, HUGE! What does winning an RQT mean? This means compared to up to 30 teams at the specific location, they demonstrated exemplary teamwork and core values, were able to present a stellar research innovation project, clearly communicate knowledge of all code programmed on the robot and design a robot that collected significant points from the themed game table.
If your student is interested in checking out the robotics program, we offer a small spring session April to first week of June for fourth through 8th grade students to learn more and decide if they'd like to join in the fall. Email [email protected] with any questions.
