The Robotics program is an after-school club sixth-grade students. Students work in teams to design and program either an NXT or EV3 robot. The robots must solve challenges to score points in two and one half minute rounds. The First Lego League selects a theme each year and develops the challenges.
We participate in the Robot Game Challenge.
Team members must master the rules and demonstrate the Core Values of First LEGO League.
Core Values
The FIRST LEGO League Core Values are the cornerstones of the program. They are among the fundamental elements that distinguish FIRST LEGO League from other programs of its kind. By embracing the Core Values, participants learn that friendly competition and mutual gain are not separate goals and that helping one another is the foundation of teamwork.
- We are a team.
- We do the work to find solutions with guidance from our coaches and mentors.
- We know our coaches and mentors don't have all the answers; we learn together.
- We honor the spirit of friendly competition.
- What we discover is more important than what we win.
- We share our experiences with others.
- We display Gracious Professionalism® and Coopertition® in everything we do.
- We have FUN!
