Message to Parents:

This is a non-profit program hosted by Ustar Education and MVRT team.

FLL is the first step to the FIRST experience, as teams of middle school and elementary aged students embark on their FRC journey of building LEGO robots and taking those robots to competition to have a chance to go to championships. FLL gives a brief introduction to robotics, and allows the students to use both sensors and block programming to build robots that interact with their environment. FLL is a great experience for students that includes teamwork, leadership and is very fun! Students would attend competitions, workshops to build their skills, and meet 3 hours each week to work on their robot.

About Monta Vista Robotics Team

Founded in 1997, the Monta Vista Robotics FIRST Team #115 was established by a few friends looking for a way to venture into the technological world through creative innovation. Over the last twenty years, MVRT has taken great strides in technology and leadership by encouraging its members to further pursue their imaginations beyond the mundane world and into the extraordinary realm. However, none of the achievements and advancements in technology would have been gained without the continuous and unfailing support of our community, parents, and the more than valuable guidance of our advisors and alumni. They have assisted us in overcoming obstacles along the path for original and unique ideas. MVRT continues to fulfill its mission in creating the “visionaries of tomorrow” today by participating in FIRST and inspiring young students through mentoring and community outreach. We stand together as a diverse group of people ready to face hardships and difficulties and combine our ingenuity to attain a common goal: building a masterpiece and inspiring the next generation of engineers and leaders.
