Students build and program robots through FIRST LEGO League and other hands-on platforms, developing problem-solving, teamwork, and engineering skills as they design, test, and compete as a real robotics team. In 2022, STARR launched one of the only community-based FIRST LEGO League robotics teams in an underserved Chicago neighborhood, giving youth a genuine competitive robotics experience alongside their peers. Our robotics program has since expanded internationally, sustaining programs at four schools in Lagos, Nigeria, and continues to build the automation, coding, and critical-thinking skills students need for STEAM careers.
