Our young people are our future leaders.  That’s why Patty participates and sponsors the Children of the Swamp team with FIRST Robotics.  Beginning as a freshman in high school, Patty’s oldest son, Christian, was a member of a robotics team and competing globally.  Now, as an adult, Christian and many of his robotics alumni, are current mentors of the team.  It is extremely inspiring to watch these “kids - then young adults” feel empowered with team spirit (there’s a lot of that!) and to be able to fine tune their unique talents and abilities.  Based on age level, here’s how each child can become involved:

                                                               

                                                                FIRST Lego League:  Grades PreK – 8 +

                                                                FIRST Tech Challenge:  Grades 7 – 12 +

                                                                FIRST Robotics Competition:  Grades 9 – 12 +
