This program is designed to give students an opportunity to explore their interest in STEM-related challenges (STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) throughout building and programming Lego® Mindstorms® and EV3® Robots in a friendly and fun environment. Each year, we modify the program to improve the students’ experience in STEM.  

Our robotics enthusiasts will also develop and practice teamwork skills such as Collaboration, Reliability, Respectfulness, Leadership, Creative & Logic Thinking, Communication and Problem Solving.

Based upon student’s interest and participation, each fall we can offer two program options:

• (Green team)    Focus on technical aspects of building and programming robots to complete missions created by the First Lego League®.   

• (Gold team)    This program covers the same robot programming as the robot-only club, but in addition, the team will work to complete all aspects of the First Lego League® challenge culminating in an end-of-season tournament against dozens of other teams from across the state. This option is a larger time commitment and includes a project’s competition around the “Year’s theme”; learning the First Lego League® Core Values, and presenting their work efforts and outputs to a panel of judges.
