FIRST – St. Mary’s 2024/25 Season

FIRST is a youth STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) and robotics competition which helps students learn to think like engineers. We have children in grades 4th-8th do this through fun, excited hands-on learning. Participants gain real-world problem solving experiences through a guided, global robotics program. This helps today’s students and coaches build a better future together.

FLL (First Lego League)-FIRST programs introduce students to engineering and coding in an engaging, inclusive and creative after school program. Students worked collaboratively to solve the robotic challenge centered around this year’s theme, UNEARTHED℠! In the UNEARTHED℠ challenge, FIRST LEGO League teams used creative thinking and LEGO® technology to explore the archeological sites and solve issues archeologist face.

This season we had 2 teams made up of 4th through 6th graders compete in the FLL Challenge. They competed at Clare Kiwanis in Clare, MI.
