Glastonbury Public Schools and the Glastonbury Friends of Robotics 501(c)(3) support our students participating in the following FIRST programs:
FIRST LEGO League Explore (grades 2-4), FIRST LEGO League Challenge (grades 4-8), and FIRST Robotics Competition (grades 9-12). |
You must attend Glastonbury public schools to participate through our programs.
But please remember...
FIRST is a global program, not a Glastonbury program. Anyone can form and fund their own teams.
Please visit firstinspires.org to learn more about these great programs.
If school is cancelled, LEGO is cancelled.
