If you are interested in robotics and coding, this is the place to be!

One of the most successful teams at Lakeland EMS through the years has been our Lakeland Builders who participate every year in the FIRST LEGO League competition. This is a competitive program which only accepts 10 students in their team every season. So, if coding and building LEGO robots to accomplish fun missions sounds like fun, join our Robotics Club this Spring, and get a taste of what our FLL team works on every Fall… maybe you’ll become our newest team members next season!

You don’t need any previous coding knowledge. Just need to have a passion for it!
