While originally a coalition of robotics teams in Ashburn Virginia, Ashburn Robotics has grown into a non profit (501(c)(3)) organization dedicated to the promotion of STEM education throughout our community, both through STEM outreach and our support of local FLL and FTC teams. Each of our teams is formed and managed by the parents of the children on that team. While each of our teams have their own unique identities they all share a common belief that kids discover more when they explore the world around them through a hands on approach to science and technology.

Ashburn Robotics was established in 2006 with the simple goal of starting a FIRST Lego League (FLL) program in our neighborhood. Over the years the program has grown and now includes both FLL and FTC teams. Ashburn Robotics FLL and FTC teams are respected not only for the many local, state and international awards they have won, but more importantly, for their commitment to helping spread FIRSTs mission to inspire young people to be science and technology leaders, by engaging them in exciting mentor-based programs that build science, engineering and technology skills, that inspire innovation, and that foster well-rounded life capabilities including self-confidence, communication, and leadership. Our teams understand the value of gracious professionalism and giving back to our communities through volunteering as mentors, coaches and passionate advocates for science and technology.
