2025-2026 Inspire Discovery

Girl Scout Robotics

Looking for an exciting and impactful STEM opportunity?

Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri offers a special STEM opportunity for members to join FIRST ® Robotics Program. Discover the basics of engineering, learn to design code, and how to problem solve for real-world issues—all while building with LEGO ® ! Teams engage in hands-on robotics programming while gaining important life skills. Girl Scouts starting in 7th grade 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 engineering and science concepts with an exciting season theme, then show off what they learned at an end-of-season event. Through this year’s FIRST ® AGE ™ theme, teams will use creative thinking and engineering skills to uncover tools, art and ideas from the past, and discover how technology helps archaeologists connect our past to the present and into the future.
