The FIRST LEGO League is the result of a partnership between FIRST and the LEGO Company. With the help of LEGO MINDSTORMS Robotics Invention System technology, young participants can build a robot and compete in a friendly, FIRST-style robotics event specially designed for their age group of 9-14. Using LEGO bricks and other elements such as sensors, motors, and gears, teams gain hands-on experience in engineering and computer programming principles as they construct and program their unique robot inventions.
The FIRST Robotics Competition is a national engineering contest for high school students in which student teams work with engineers from business and universities to brainstorm, design, construct, and test "champion robots." The competition, which takes place over a period of six weeks, kicks off in January and culminates with the national championship in April..
Foundation for Technology Education This scholarship is designed to assist outstanding undergraduate students in Technology Education with their undergraduate expenses. The award is based upon interest in teaching, academic ability and faculty recommendations.
This is a self-initiated, non-competitive program that encourages students to increase their knowledge and skills in leadership, technology, school and community service, and career and personal planning.

Botball Educational Robotics Program Botball is a program that allows teams of students to build a mobile robot that will compete against each other on a 4’x 8’ playing field. Students also conduct Internet research on various robotics topics to participate in a robot application design contest. The program begins with a workshop for teachers and mentors where they receive experience in designing, building, and programming a mobile robot. At the end of the session, teachers receive robot kits to take back to their students.
Part of the non-profit National Engineers Week, students design and build a city of the future. Students work in teams of three with their teacher and a volunteer engineer mentor to design a city on computers using SimCity software. Next, they create three-dimensional models based on the computer simulation and write a 500-word essay.
