First In Missouri

FIRST Tech Challenge is for students in grades 7-12. Teams program classroom-scale robots to follow autonomous commands before student drivers take control in two-on-two matches. On and off the field, students develop STEM skills, engage in community outreach, practice engineering innovation, and build confidence to help them succeed. During the 24-25 school year, we had 207 teams participating in events. We hosted 59 Meets (4 hours), 8 League Tournaments (1 day), 2 Super Qualifiers (1 day) and a 36 team Championship (1 day). This was possible due to the support of 550+ volunteers across that state.

FIRST LEGO League introduces STEM to children through fun, exciting hands-on learning. Participants gain real-world problem-solving experiences through a guided, global robotics program using LEGO technology, helping todays students and teachers build a better future together. We had 254 teams participating in the FIRST LEGO League Challenge at 14 Qualifiers and 1 Championship. We had 129 registered FIRST LEGO League Explore teams who could share what they learned during the season at one of our 8 Festivals. A total of 270 volunteers supported the FIRST LEGO League programs.
