About Our Program

Mission:

The mission of ASFG Warrior Robotics is to mentor students to learn valuable STEAM skills, and to help students become creative thinkers, purposeful learners, effective collaborators, confident leaders, and capable problem solvers.

Vision:

ASFG Warrior Robotics will be an inclusive, extensive, and competitive robotics program that focuses on enriching the whole learner. 

Program Description

Warrior Robotics is a nationally recognized and award winning grades 1 through 12 after-school competitive robotics program. Similar to our sports program, Warrior Robotics will see teams of students work together with a coach and mentor to partake in robotics competitions and demonstrations around Mexico and beyond! While students will learn valuable technical skills like coding and engineering, the program will work to accomplish so much more. Students will practice collaboration and teamwork, critical and creative thinking, time and task management, how to problem solve, and of course, have tons of fun along the way! Most of all, the program will strive to inspire students to become leaders and to develop the capacity as skilled problem solvers.

Students in 1st-2nd grade will meet twice a week for 90 minutes each. Students in 3rd-12th will meet three times a week for 90 minutes each.

FLL Explore 1st and 2nd Grade

It’s never too early to discover STEM. FIRST LEGO League Explore is designed to introduce STEM concepts to kids while exciting them through a brand they know and love − LEGO®.

Guided by adult coaches and FIRST® Core Values, students build models using LEGO® SPIKE Essential and create Show Me posters to present what they learned. The program focuses on building interest in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) through a real-world challenge – to be solved by research, critical thinking, and imagination.

FLL Challenge 3rd-6th Grade

FIRST® LEGO® League Challenge focuses on solving real-world problems such as food safety, recycling, energy, and more using STEM concepts, plus a big dose of fun.

With the guidance of coaches, teams apply science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) concepts to solve a real-world problem.

Teams design, build, and program a LEGO® SPIKE Pri robot, then compete on a themed table-top playing field. Along their journey, students develop critical-thinking and team-building skills, build STEM self-confidence, and gain valuable perspective on the importance of failure in the learning process.

FIRST Tech Challenge teams are challenged to design, build, program, and operate robots to compete in a head-to-head challenge in an alliance format.

Guided by coaches and mentors, students develop STEM skills and practice engineering principles, while realizing the value of hard work, innovation, and working as a team.

Robot kits can be coded using a variety of levels of Java-based programming. Teams design and build robots, raise funds, design and market their team brand, and do community outreach to earn specific awards including college scholarships.
