First State Robotics is a Delaware 501(c)(3) nonprofit that fosters a love of science and technology by engaging students in the engineering design process and in robotics competitions while promoting the core value of gracious professionalism.

Gracious Professionalism is a way of doing things that encourages high-quality work, emphasizes the value of others, and respects individuals and the community. Created in 2001, we inspire and motivate young people to extend learning beyond the classroom in order to-

• Develop and pursue interests in science, engineering, and technology
• Become confident, independent, and responsible
• Use creative thinking and problem-solving to make a difference in the world

Our robotics programs and affiliate partners impact students of all ages:

• Jr. FIRST® LEGO® League (Jr.FLL®) – grades k to 3
• FIRST® LEGO® League (FLL®) – grades 4 to 8
• FIRST® Tech Challenge (FTC®) – grades 7 to 12
• FIRST® Robotics Competition (FRC®) – high school

Our annual local and statewide competition events are free and open to the public.

2017 FLLJr Theme

If you would like to start a FIRST LEGO League Jr. team, we welcome you and want to provide you with all the support, ideas, and encouragement you need to succeed. FIRST gives you a head start by announcing this year’s theme months in advance – Aqua Adventure!

  • Registered teams will have access to all this season’s specific documents (details of what the team is expected to complete for the season; information about how your team will be reviewed at an Expo).
  • Most teams spend about eight (8) weeks preparing their projects. Understand that your team’s Show Me poster and LEGO model must be ready before you attend an Expo.
  • You do not need to have all team member names to register.

Remember: NO EXPERIENCE REQUIRED AND YOU ARE NEVER ALONE!
