FIRST Robotics Competition

We are excited to again be hosting one of a First Robotics Competition at LSSU March 26-28, 2026! It was great to see the enthusiasm, collaboration, and effort of the teams the last few years (see below for videos of the finals). We will be hosting the kick-off for the local teams on January 10, 2026 as well.
