Robotics Programs
The Value of Robotics
STEM Literacy and Confidence
STEM competence and confidence creates pathways to well paying jobs and entrepreneurial opportunities in the fastest growing fields creating the potential for young people to achieve purposeful and prosperous lives.
Technology Literate Workforce with Strong Business Skills
STEM literacy is just a part of the experience. Students learn prioritization of tasks, flexibility, managing a schedule and budget, safety, business management, and building strong relationships with others for a successful team.
Career and Life Skills
Critical thinking, time management, collaboration, communication, and self confidence go far beyond the robotics teams, touching every aspect of their lives.

Teams in the community
Pre COVID we had 19 FIRST Robotics teams in the community and there was at least one FIRST team at every school, public and private, in the two towns. We are working to get back to that level.
