Hey, not *all* the fun in happening at FIRST Championship in Houston. ¡Feliz día de los ninos!

There’s building robots… and then there’s building confidence, friendships, and futures!

With the biggest STEM celebration of the year kicking off tomorrow, there’s never been a more electric time to and join a community of innovators, problem-solvers, and changemakers.

We want to hear from YOU! Why is starting a FIRST robotics team always a good idea? 😎

Oregon FLL at Worlds too! Love the shirts 😍
