FIRST Robotics Competition

FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) combines the excitement of sport with the rigors of science and technology. Under strict rules and limited time and resources, teams of high school students are challenged to build industrial-size robots to play a difficult field game in alliance with other teams, while also fundraising to meet their goals, designing a team “brand,” and advancing respect and appreciation for STEM within the local community. FIRST Robotics Competition is as close to real-world engineering as a student can get. It’s a sport where all participants may choose to become a professiona

FIRST LEGO League

FLL is an opportunity to immerse children in the real-world science & technology challenges through a fun-filled exploration journey alongside enhancing their life skills. Suitable for age group 9 to 16 years, students participate in teams of 2-10 members guided by one or two adult coaches. Teams participating in the FLL program have to carry out Robotics Game & Design, Research Project and Core Values such as Discovery, Innovation, Impact, Inclusion, Teamwork, Fun. FLL India was launched in 2009 and more than 1000 teams have enjoyed the journey since then impacting several thousand students every year. India STEM Foundation organizes FLL India at Regional & National level.
