Program Levels

We offer a special STEM opportunity through our Girl Scout FIRST ® Robotics Program. Our teams engage in hands-on robotics programming and learn about real-world problems. They discover the basics of engineering, learn to design, code and problem solve. Through their robotics team, Girl Scouts complete badge steps for all three robotics badges and more! Teams can even take their skills to a whole new level through FIRST ® Tech Challenge where teams design, build, and program metal robots. Teams follow an innovative curriculum that combines basic engineering and science concepts with an exciting season theme, then show off what they have learned at an end-of-season event. Through this year’s FIRST ® DIVE theme, teams will use creative thinking and technology to explore the layers of the ocean and bring their ideas to the surface as they “sea” into the future.
