Lakota Robotics

Our Impact Committee is hard at work this summer, planning ahead and developing a strategy for the upcoming build season.

The work that happens behind the scenes now helps set our team up for success when the season begins. Great things start with great preparation!

Summer may be here, but our learning never stops!

At Lakota Robotics, our FRC students continue sharpening their skills throughout the summer. By meeting three days a week, they're gaining hands-on experience and building the knowledge they'll use during the upcoming build season.

At Lakota Robotics, we build more than robots.

We build friendships, confidence, teamwork, and a sense of belonging. Our students come together to learn, create, and support one another while developing skills that will last a lifetime. No matter their background or experience level, everyone has a place on our team.

That's what makes Lakota Robotics special. 💙💜

We're proud to share that several of our mentors recently attended the Woodie Flowers Conference in Detroit, Michigan!

A special congratulations to mentors Jimmy Nichols and Jeff Morgan, who were selected as presenters. Their session, "Struggles and Successes of Operating a Community-Based Program," highlighted the journey of building and sustaining Lakota Robotics and the Paul George STEM Center.

They shared real-world lessons on funding, partnerships, volunteer management, facilities, and how to stay focused on the mission while navigating growth and challenges. We're honored to help inspire other STEM programs and share what we've learned along the way.

Did you know our FRC students logged more than 10,801 hours of hands-on learning last season?

From engineering and programming to leadership, marketing, and teamwork, every hour helped students build skills that will last a lifetime. We're proud to provide opportunities that inspire the next generation of innovators, problem-solvers, and leaders!

What a fantastic way to wrap up our LEGO Summer Camp! 🤖🎉

On the final day, campers created self-portraits inspired by engineers and scientists, showcasing their creativity and future STEM aspirations. We finished the week with an exciting LEGO Robotics Tournament where teams put their skills, teamwork, and problem-solving abilities to the test!

Thank you to all of our campers for an amazing week of learning, building, and STEM fun!

Day 3 of LEGO Summer Camp was packed with creativity, coding, and teamwork! 🌻💻

Our campers put their coding skills to work by programming flowers to grow on a virtual farm, then got their hands dirty planting real flower seeds. They also designed team buttons and created posters to show off their creativity and team spirit.

Learning, building, and having fun all in one day!

Day 2 of LEGO Summer Camp was packed with creativity, coding, and hands-on STEM learning! Our campers had a blast building, programming, and solving challenges while developing skills in engineering, teamwork, and problem-solving. It's amazing to see their confidence and creativity grow with every project!

What a fantastic start to our LEGO Summer Camp! 🎉

Day one was filled with excitement, creativity, and plenty of smiles as we welcomed campers to the Paul George STEM Center. We can't wait to see what these young builders and innovators accomplish throughout the week!
