OUR PROGRAMS
FIRST® LEGO® League Explore
Grades: 4K - 3
Ages: 4 - 9
FIRST® LEGO® League Explore is a project-based program which challenges the very young to solve a problem that faces our society today leveraging fun to spark their curiosity and innovation. They then build a moving sculpture of that potential solution to that problem out of LEGO® bricks.
FIRST® LEGO® League Challenge
Grades: 4 - 8
Ages: 9 - 14
FIRST® LEGO® League Challenge combines a project and the robot challenges. The project asks students to solve a problem facing society today, such as helping the elderly, or improving mass transportation system. The robot is created from Lego Mindstorms and must navigate a 4' x 8' obstacle course for maximum points.
FIRST® Tech Challenge
Grades: 7 and up
Ages: 12 - 18
FIRST® Tech Challenge increases the difficulty of the robotic challenge by changing to the "Tetrix" building system (similar to erector set), more powerful motors, more advanced sensors, and JAVA as a programming language. In our program, students can choose to join FTC immediately or stay in FLL during the 7th and 8th grade.
FIRST® Robotics Competition
Grades: 9 - 12
Ages: 14 - 18
FIRST® Robotics Competition is the pinnacle of FIRST, culminating with the most freedom for student creativity. Students are free to create from any material, any off the shelf part can be used provided the robot meets that year’s size/weight/cost constraints. In addition, business students create videos, setup the website, and create all the marketing materials.
