Plattsburgh Robotics Inc Plattsburgh Robotics, Inc. is a 501(c)3 non-profit community program serving area youth in STEAM related events through FIRST® Robotics.

What We Do

The program is offered to area youth ages 6-18, with three different age groups. FIRST® Robotics incorporates many programs including: FIRST LEGO League (FLL) Explore for 6-10 years olds, FIRST LEGO League (FLL) Challenge for 9-16 year olds and FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) for ages 14-18. We served 16 youth on 2 robotics teams this past season and have served 40 youth in previous seasons. This past year, the teams were decreased due to COVID-19 requirements to keep all youth healthy and safe. Each of the programs has different requirements, the youngest teams, Explore, learning about simple machines, how to build a LEGO model using moving parts, and beginner coding skills. The Challenge teams build and program robots to complete various missions and complete a project to solve a real world problem by developing new technology or using existing technology in a new way. The FTC teams build and program robots, develop a business plan, participate in community outreach, mentor the younger teams, and market their team through social media. The participants are often kids who find themselves on the outskirts of social groups within their educational programs. This group fosters belonging, support from others, collaboration and social emotional support. It diversifies interests, thus expanding knowledge and abilities which increases self-esteem, self worth and belonging. We work with a great bunch of volunteers and great families with talented, hard-working kids.

Dove here! Myself and a mentor went to MVCC coaches college over this past weekend and can I just say, WOW! We learned so much, from mechanical building, coding, CAD, fundraising and outreach! The connections we made with other coaches mean so much to us!
Hard to return to normal after learning so much and seeing the possibilities! Can't wait to share what we've learned!

Stay tuned for kick off information for this season!
