Engineers4KidsUSA supports elementary and secondary level STEM education by connecting mentors from the local community, workplace, higher educational institutions, and professional organizations to grade level students.

Our nation is at a tipping point

We face threats to our prosperity, our national security and even our planet.

Learn the basics of programming with a computer that fits in the palm of your hand!
In this 12 week course the students will learn how to apply grade level math and science in simulated real world projects. Each project utilizes a sample set of applications of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) concepts. Project based learning methods are used in a lab environment. Students demonstrate their finished projects to an audience at the monthly open house.

FLL 2013 - Nature's Fury

FLL is excited to release the 2013 Challenge NATURE'S FURY!

Coming August 2013, Nature's Fury asks FIRST® LEGO® League teams to "master natural disasters" through exploration of storms, quakes, waves, and more.

Teams will discover what can be done when intense natural events meet the places people live, work, and play. Teams will also build, test, and program an autonomous robot using LEGO MINDSTORMS® to solve a set of missions on an obstacle course. Throughout their experience, teams will operate under FLL's signature set of Core Values.
