Robotics Competition - FIRST® LEGO® League Qualifying Events

FIRST® LEGO® League introduces STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) to children ages 4-16* through fun, exciting hands-on learning. Participants gain real-world problem-solving experience through a guided, global robotics program, helping today’s students and teachers build a better future together. FIRST LEGO League’s three age-appropriate divisions inspire youth to experiment and grow their critical thinking, coding, and design skills through hands-on STEM learning and robotics centered around a yearly theme.

Using STEM concepts, students overcome the same challenges that face scientists today. They develop critical thinking and presentation skills, build habits of learning and self-confidence in STEM, and have a ton of fun while working as part of a team. For more on FLL watch: About FIRST LEGO League

All teams will start with judging presentation sessions around 8:30 am till around 11 am. All teams will join the 45 minutes opening ceremony before the competitions start. Each team will have three opportunities to compete on the competition tables. Competitions typically wrapped up around 4:30 PM followed by the Award Ceremony.

Started as a single robotics team in 2011, Queen City Robotics Alliance (QCRA) was registered as a 501(c)3 non-profit in 2014. Today, QCRA serves over 200 students on 14 teams. We deliver interactive programs to hundreds of students, with public events reaching upward of 5,000 annually.

Our teams use the FIRST® robotics program where students build robots to compete in team events. This is a sport “where everyone can turn pro”. Each team runs like a business to inspire, equip, and prepare students way beyond robots.

* FIRST = For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology
