— Our Mission —
Swampbots is a local organization that aims to empower the youth of our rural communities through STEM education. By utilizing robotics, innovation, and collaboration we are equipping our future leaders with the critical skills necessary to change their communities and inspiring them to make a positive impact on the world.
WHY ROBOTICS?
Building for the Future
At Swampbots Robotics, we harness the exciting world of robotics to engage our young participants. Through hands-on experiences in building and programming robots, we instill valuable problem-solving skills, encourage creativity, and promote teamwork.
Our teams, with participants ranging from ages 6-18 participate in the worldwide FIRST robotics league, competing across Florida and beyond.
Our home base is in High Springs, FL.
Robotics isn't just about kids building robots–it's about robots building kids.
FIRST® LEGO® League Explore Teams
Kids from 6-10 years old
These teams are non-competitive. This level is about focusing on the fundamentals of engineering, learning to design, code, and create solutions with LEGO® bricks and the Spike hub.
FIRST LEGO League Challenge Teams
Kids from 4th-8th grade
This competition league promotes research, innovation, problem-solving, and team work build and program an autonomous robot that navigates a game board full of missions in less than 2.5 minutes.
And that's only half of it!
FIRST TECH® Challenge Teams
Teenagers from 13-18 years old
These teams have moved out of the LEGO leagues and into building metal robots that have an autonomous and controlled portion where they compete in a 2.5 minute robot competition against (and with!) other teams.
