FIRST Lego League – (4th-8th grade)
The GEAR Alliance
We support 5 different Lego League teams, with forty young students participating from elementary and middle schools through our school district. Our young roboteers learn to program Lego Mindstorm robots to navigate “missions” on a tabletop field. Students learn teamwork skills and also research a large world problem and brainstorm solutions they themselves can implement.
FIRST Tech Challenge – Development Team
The GEAR Alliance
Our FTC development team is a close-knit team of 10 students, designed to give promising students and future leaders an intensive robotics experience prior to joining the FRC team. Building smaller 18” robots, the team competes locally in Colorado. The team were the 2022 World Champions and the 2023 World Finalists.
FIRST Robotics Competition – “Up-A-Creek Robotics”
The GEAR Alliance
Our high school team is our largest program, with 90 students from 7 district schools participating. Students build large robots and compete in Colorado and neighboring states. A rising national contender, in the past eight years the team has won the Colorado regional six times and out-of-state regional seven times. We won the 2022 World Championships in 2022.
