The CyberKnights

Every January, FIRST releases a new game and a common set of rules, and over 2000 teams around the world design, build and program a robot to play it. That is the part people see. The rest of the year is training, outreach and the FIRST LEGO League teams we run for younger students.

The team is made up of 47 students across a number of sub-teams, and 38 mentors of every skill set.

Mission

To inspire young adults to be technological innovators and community leaders, and to make an impact in their surrounding community as well as the world.

Beyond the robot

The CyberKnights bring science and technology to the front of our town. We support FIRST LEGO League teams at local elementary schools, run community outreach events, and keep long relationships with assisted living centers, veterans organizations and the local food pantry. Our outreach reaches as far as Uganda, where we partner with Guiding Light Orphans.

All of that, plus the cost of building a robot, takes funding. We are lucky to have the network of sponsors listed on this site, and we would not exist without them.
