FIRST Robotics

Founded in 2003, Londonderry High School Robotics competes as part of the FIRST Robotics Competition. The team mission is to foster STEM education in our town and state, inspire our community to become STEM advocates, and encourage students to explore how STEM careers can benefit the world.

The team members coach FIRST LEGO League teams at Londonderry Middle School, host a summer robotics introduction program, produce the annual RoboExpo event in Nashua NH, host and operate a FIRST LEGO League Qualifying Tournament, and mentor other local FIRST teams.
