Welcome to FIRST Robotics BC!

Our mission is to inspire young people in British Columbia to pursue further studies and careers in the field of science, technology, engineering, and math through robotics competitions for school-age students.

Ages 4 to 14, grades Pre K-8

FIRST® LEGO® League introduces STEM through fun, exciting hands-on learning. Participants gain real-world problem-solving experiences through a guided, global robotics program, helping today’s students and teachers build a better future together. The three divisions inspire youth to experiment and grow their critical thinking, coding, and design skills through hands-on STEM learning and robotics.
