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).

Things are changing...

FIRST announced sweeping changes to the LEGO robotics programs: https://community.firstinspires.org/new-era-first-lego-league-future-edition
​
What does this mean for us? Not sure yet! If you would like to take a leadership role in the future of Glastonbury Friends of Robotics, please reach out to Wendy Smith [email protected].

​​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.

       Please contact me with questions not answered on this site, or with additions/corrections you would like to see. For quick reference:

​~ FLL Challenge (grades 4-8) registration takes place throughout the summer; the Connecticut season is August to December.

~ FLL Explore (grades 2-4) registration will be handled school by school, opening in October. Our Glastonbury season begins in January and goes until late March or early April.
​
~ FIRST Robotics Competition is run through Glastonbury High School; any information on this website is unofficial. The GHS team meets year round; students sign up through the school.

Thank you,
