Our Lady of Lourdes Robotics

Every year, FIRST® LEGO® League releases a new Challenge based on a real-world, scientific theme.

Starting with Discover, children are introduced to the fundamentals of STEM while working together to solve fun challenges and building models using LEGO® DUPLO® bricks.

As participants progress into Explore, children will take their background knowledge of STEM and put it into practice as they work in teams to design and build robots using the LEGO® Education SPIKE Essential. 

Once they are ready to move into a competitive setting, they join Challenge and apply their STEM skills combined with critical thinking to work with a team, build a robot, and compete in an exciting, mission-based robotics game.

Lights, camera, STEAM! Science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM) inspire big ideas, bold action – and creativity. Our skills make it possible to create art and experiences that bring us together, entertain us, and move us. During our 2023-2024 arts-inspired robotics season, FIRST® IN SHOWSM presented by Qualcomm, we will celebrated the roles our STEM skills play in the arts and design and built a world of endless possibilities. 

At Our Lady of Lourdes, we ignite a passion for STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Math) through our engaging robotics program. Our active team, open to grades 4-7, allows students to explore problem-solving, creativity, and critical thinking through the exciting world of robotics.
