BadgerBots

We create meaningful, creative and memorable STEAM experiences for kids across Wisconsin.

We know that hands-on exploration builds the strongest connections and that kids who grow confident and competent in STEAM will be best prepared for the future. Through fun, hands-on learning experiences and robotics programs, we inspire kids to explore, build skills and gain confidence—opening doors to future opportunities in STEAM. Our vibrant community of youth, coaches and mentors is what sets

us apart. Together, we create a one-of-a-kind environment that encourages growth, sparks creativity and fosters a lifelong passion for learning.

We are building the next generation of leaders, innovators and problem-solvers through STEAM exploration.

Such a great experience to have Girl Scout Troop 8284 spend the day at BadgerBots earning their Robotics badges. They were taught entirely by female members of FTC teams Attack Hamsterz and Technical Difficulties. Thanks Makayla, Zoe, Elena and Maddie for being great mentors and role models!

Older girls showing younger girls what's possible for them in STEM. This is what looks like. ✌❤️🤖

FTC team Technical Difficulties showed off their competition robot at the Madison Children's Museum's Badgerland Learning Days Celebration on May 7. The little kids had a blast catching balls the robot launched into the air.

Events like this are a great opportunity to get kids excited about STEAM at a young age. And fun activities like catching a ball from a robot are hard to forget.

We were excited to partner with the Madison Children's Museum and work to build the future together, one curious kid at a time.

We were thrilled to bring our youth robotics community to the 2026 UW-Madison Engineering EXPO on April 17–18.

Three of our teams, FRC Team 1306 BadgerBOTS, FTC team THUNDERHeads and FLL team Rocky Riders, helped kids build FLL-style LEGO robots and drive actual FRC and FTC competition robots.

Connecting with curious kids and sharing our passion for youth robotics and STEAM is what BadgerBots is all about. Thanks to UW-Madison and all the organizers for having us at the Engineering EXPO!

FRC Team 1306 BadgerBOTS is back from the FIRST Championship in Houston!

The team wrapped up an incredible season: a 46-15 season record, three medals and their first-ever FIRST Championship appearance on robot performance. Every single member of the team helped make it happen! ✌❤️🤖

Their fun doesn’t stop this summer either. They’ll be doing community outreach, competing in off-season events and some members will even be instructing at BadgerBots summer camps!

We're always so pleased to see our robotics students highlighted in their communities! Shout-out to the THUNDERHeads FTC team for a great 2025-2026 competition season. Give their story a read and show them some support. ✌❤️🤖

Verona Area High School sophomores Diego Curbelo and Alex Timm were part of a local youth robotics FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) team, “THUNDERHeads,” which recently competed at the FTC State Championship and finished the season with a top ranking.

It's called FIRST CANOPY, and the theme is BIODIVERSITY. Nothing on Earth thrives alone. Every gene, species and ecosystem is part of a rich web of biological diversity that powers clean air, fresh water and food.

With STEM as their tool and nature as inspiration, today's boldest innovators are finding new ways to strengthen the connections that protect our shared home.

Building. Problem solving. Growing stronger through teamwork.
