Robotics
Every robot is someone's first, it's our job to make sure it's not their last.

The Xaverian Brooklyn Blacksmiths have been a student led FIRST Robotics Competition team since 2002. We are dedicated to making STEM accessible for everyone.

What inspired you to make this project?
We have competed in FIRST Robotics Competition for 22 years, and we continue to believe that competition-based, mentor-guided, real-world problem solving is the best way to use STEM education to build the next generation of kids who will save the world.

What are some of the challenges you have encountered and how did you address them?
We are always challenged to show people that we are #morethanrobots. Beyond designing, building, wiring, and coding a robot, our team empowers students in public speaking, media content creation, community service, entrepreneurship and sustainability.
