EARLY ENGINEERS 2025-2026

Designed just for kids in grades K-1, Early Engineers is a hands-on, play based program that gives students a chance to explore STEM concepts and robotics through play, experimentation and problem solving. Our precursor to FIRST LEGO League, Early Engineers is organized and led by mentors and our FIRST Tech Challenge students and is great fun for all!

Early Engineers investigates structures and supports, magnets, gears, balance, motion, and lots of robots and beginning coding! Meetings include 45 minutes of structured, hands-on learning time followed by 45 minutes of STEM play time where students have access to a variety of STEM toys and building sets chosen to get their creativity flowing. 

We believe all young students can thrive in STEM, and we strongly encourage girls, students of color, students who are neuro-diverse, and students who are still learning English to join our teams. All are welcome and no previous robotics or coding experience is necessary. 

Time commitment for Early Engineers:

• Team meeting every 4th Friday 6:00 - 7:30 pm August 22 - November 21, 2025 and January 23 - April 24, 2026 **November the meeting is held on the 3rd Friday due to Thanksgiving 

• Broomfield Robotics Club Annual Celebration Sunday, May 9, 2026, 3:00-5:00 pm

PLEASE NOTE: We believe that consistency is an important part of learning and building team relationships, so we expect our students to attend regularly and participate fully. While we are flexible in attendance so that our members can prioritize their health, education, and family, we ask that if your student and family cannot commit to attending at least 75% of the meetings, you discuss this with us prior to joining the team.
