Mathobotix is an innovative and creative
Integrated Learning Environment (ILE) designed to let
students of all ages discover and explore science and
technology on their own terms and in an energetic environment.
Based on National Science Foundation (NSF) Science,
Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM), and Mathobotix's
Integrated Curriculum. We help kids participate in Lego
and VEX Robotics Competitions and FIRST Tech Challenge
for high-school students, FIRST LEGO© league for children
ages 9-14, and Junior FIRST LEGO© League for ages 6-9
years old. FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) is a unique
varsity sport of the mind designed to help high-school-aged
young people discover how interesting and rewarding
the life of engineers and researchers can be.
