We are empowering young lives and changing the future through STEM and Robotics

What is FLE Robotics?

FIRST® LEGO® League introduces science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) to children ages 4-16* through fun, exciting hands-on learning. Participants gain real-world problem solving experience through a guided, global robotics program, helping today's students and teachers build a better future together.

In Explore, teams of students ages 6-10 focus on the fundamentals of engineering as they explore real-world problems, learn to design, and code, and create unique solutions made with LEGO bricks and powered by LEGO® Education SPIKE Essential.

FIRST Core Values

Discovery: We explore new skills and ideas.
Innovation: We use creativity and persistence to solve problems.
Impact: We apply what we learn to improve our world.
Inclusion: We respect each other and embrace our differences.
Teamwork: We are stronger when we work together.
Fun: We enjoy and celebrate what we do!

FLE Areas of Youth and Teen Development

Science

Gain a broader understanding of the technology and how it can be use to expand our capabilities in the world.

Engineering

Combine creativity with innovative thinking to craft and development robust robotic designs for any challenge throw your way.

Robotics

Understand how we can use robots to perfrom human like functions and compete in a great environment to accomplish our team goals.

3-D Printing & CAD

Learn how to use industry standard design software to build any project. Core CAD skills are key to unlocking your full potential as a innovative developer.

Programming

Java is our bread and butter! Expand the capabilites of your mind as we learn to create code that will be used to operate our robot and other development projects.

Character Development

Developing you as a youth is key to enstill the right outlook on choices and life. First Robotics creates an environment of growth for individuals and teams as we bond and learn what our hidden talens are.

Creating Diversity in the STEM & Robotics Fields

The job search website Zippia estimates only 4.4% of people in the field of robotics are Black or African American and only 8.5% are women. The Nehemiah Community Empowerment Center is working to change that through their robotics team — the “GeodeBots.”
