All FRIDAY WORKSHOP SEATS ARE SOLD OUT! Follow this link if you'd like to register for one of our few remaining Saturday seats.

Do you have a 3rd - 5th grader interested in robotics? Or maybe they are ready to start skill building to prepare for joining and competing with a FIRST LEGO League next season? Do you have a student interested in learning more about robotics from a team of award-winning, expert high school students and professional mentors from the McKinney Mercenary FIRST teams?

If so, come join us at the McKinney STEAM Academy for our 5-part training that will guide students through an introduction to the major robot skills and teamwork involved in robotics, and for possibly competing on an FLL Team. Students will learn LEGO Spike Prime robots they will build and design to complete challenges from the 2024-25 FLL Season, Submerged.

These workshops are designed to be experienced as an "appetizer" of the full FLL season by participating in the entire series.
Each workshop will run from 6:00 - 8:30 pm.
Parents are invited to tour the MSA beginning at 5:45pm before any of the workshops, and return by 8:15 pm for a brief part 2 of tours when your students will share with you their learnings from each of the workshops.
