A great place to learn about FIRST LEGO League - some very successful teams met at this summer camp and formed a team! A summer camp for kids ages 8-12!
Planning on participating in @firstlegoleague this fall? Attend Exploding Bacon Summer camp and learn to program LEGO robots using a past year's challenge! A hands-on science and robotics summer camp led by FRC students and mentors with years of experience. Space is limited!

RIP Grant Imahara - He was a tremendous inspiration to kids around the world and the reason many kids joined @FIRSTweets. This is a great loss, and he will be truly missed. youtu.be/wucMlW3Mwnc

@RepStephMurphy Please support H.R. 500 to honor the memory of Christa McAuliffe and to support STEM education through FIRST robotics.
On #NationalSpaceDay, I'm remembering New Hampshire teacher and astronaut Christa McAuliffe. I’ve co-sponsored a bill to create a commemorative coin in her honor with proceeds supporting STEM education through @FIRSTweets.

I love @FIRSTweets with a passion. They’ve given me the best of friends, experiences, skills, and most importantly they’ve given me a community of people I feel at home with as both a student, alum, and mentor. I couldn’t be more grateful ❤️ Let competition season begin!!

<Just waking up after the mad rush to get the robot in the bag> Oh! We didn’t miss the chance to #bragyourbot for #Eweek2019 did we? Huge thanks @lockheedmartin for all the support you’ve given us over the past 14 bag days. Can’t wait to see what we can do together in the future!

Kate shared her #FIRSTLikeAGirl story 3 years ago. This year, she joined @FRCBacon1902 as a programmer. "FIRSTLikeAGirl gave me world-wide support from girls just like me. Being able to share what I love kept me excited to learn more!" m.youtube.com/watch?v=-FtFPK…
