Discover Bots Waitlist 2027-2028

Waitlist for Discover Bots 2027-2028

For students entering Kindergarten and first grade in the fall of 2027. Please use the grade your student will enter in the fall of 2027. 

Discover Bots is our robotics program for students in Kindergarten and 1st grade. The first step in the Broomfield Robotics pipeline, Discover Bots introduces students to science and technology through a variety of different robots, activities and screen-free coding opportunities, all through hands-on play, exploration and challenges to solve.

Students enrolled in Discover Bots for the 2027-2028 program year will be guaranteed a spot on a Broomfield Robotics team for the 2028-2029 program year as long as they attend at least 75% of the meetings while in Discover Bots. Due to extensive waitlists and limited capacity on our teams, this is your best opportunity to get a spot on our FIRST robotics teams in the future.

Discover Bots meets on 4th Fridays from 6:00 to 7:30 pm August-April and demonstrates their learning at the End of Year Expo in early May.

Discover Bots is led by mentors and our FIRST Tech Challenge robotics students using curriculum designed by Broomfield STEM staff, mentors and our BroomBots robotics team. Parent mentors are welcome! Please visit our mentors page for more information and to apply.

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 Discover Bots:

• Team meetings every 4th Friday 6:00 to 7:30 pm from August to April

• Broomfield Robotics Club Annual Celebration at the end of the season

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% (6/8) of the meetings and the end of year celebration, you discuss this with us prior to joining the club.
