Robotics

Robotics is an engaging STEM course that combines mechanical dynamics and computer science. Throughout the course, students engage both hands and minds, strengthen their logical thinking, learn mechanical principles, adapt to teamwork, and enhance their programming skills. Through this course, students can participate in robotics competitions, progressing step-by-step through team events such as city tournaments, state championships, the US Open, and the World Championship. Student teams collaborate to independently research, develop, and design their competition robots under the guidance of professional coaches. The coaching team at FS Education is unmatched in New York for both guidance and robotics competition expertise. In 2023, they swept the New York State competition by capturing both the championship and runner-up titles, and they also secured a spot in the World Championship. In 2024, we will set our sights on the world championship.
