Hagley STEM Camp ⚙️💚 ↳ Our team visited Hagley Musem to present to the kids attending STEM camp about robots. We brought along our Freight Frenzy robot and batter-bot for the kids to drive around small courses. They had lots of fun and we hope to visit again next year.

MOE FTC World Championships 2022

We all had so much fun at States this weekend and can’t wait to represent Delaware at World Championships in April! Thank you to all the volunteers and teams who made this event so successful! It was amazing seeing such a great showing of robots and the progress everyone has made in the last few months. We hope to see you all competing next year and we’re looking forward to the rest of the season!💚 #ftcrobotics #firstinspires #revrobotics #teamrev2122 #ftcworlds2022 #moe365

2 weeks ago we attended a meet with with some local teams. Thank you so much Lyrics and Logic for hosting the event! Good luck to all Delaware teams!🍀☺️💚 #teamwork #competition #robotics #teambonding #competitionday #teamrev2122

About FIRST Programs

FIRST, which stands for “For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology,” is an international non-profit offering youth STEM programs for kids from 4 to 18 years old. Their mission is to inspire youth to find a passion in STEM, which they accomplish through afterschool programs, with their core values of discovery, innovation, impact, inclusion, teamwork, and fun. FIRST was founded in 1989 by Dean Kamen, and the organization has emphasized the importance of self-confidence, communications, and leadership.

FIRST LEGO League (ages 4-16): FLL focuses on younger kids and introducing STEM through the simplicity of LEGOS. Students are able to engage in real world problem solving and STEM experiences through the guided robotics program. There are three divisions with different age ranges that inspires youth to strengthen critical thinking, coding, and design skills with hands-on learning. FIRST LEGO League Discover is for children, ages 4-6, that stimulates natural curiosity and learning with LEGO® Duplo bricks. FIRST LEGO League Explore has teams, ages 6-10, introduces the fundamentals of engineering, design, and code with real world problems and LEGO bricks and powered by LEGO Education robot. FIRST LEGO League Challenge is a friendly competition for older kids, ages 9-16, to practice researching, problem-solving, coding, programming, and engineering to solve a real world problem.

FIRST Tech Challenge (Grades 7-12): FTC has teams with a maximum of 15 members are tasked with the challenge to design, build, program, and operate robots. They will compete in a head-to-head competition against other teams in an alliance format. Adult coaches and mentors emphasize the value of hard-work and teamwork, along with developing critical STEM skills and engineering principals. (MOE is an FTC team!)

FIRST Robotics Competition (Grades 9-12): FRC students compete in larger teams with industrial sized robots. Guided by professional mentors, students must raise funds, create a team brand, and use teamwork skills to build large scale robots. By adapting to strict constraints, using limited resources, and navigating unexpected challenges, FRC provides as close to a real-world engineering experience as possible.
