For Coaches & Teams

Already running a team? We fund the stuff that's in the way.

Kits, FIRST registration, tools, gear. If cost is blocking your team — for a single season or every season — apply for a team grant. Minimal paperwork, real conversation, a quick answer.

Why we started

We watched what robotics did for kids — and we wanted more of them to get it.

Build a robot. Break it. Fix it. Lose a tournament. Come back next week. Talk to judges. Argue strategy with teammates. Those aren't hobby skills — they're the skills that shape engineers, founders, and problem-solvers. We're building Loudoun Robotics so every kid here gets a real shot at that.

Our Promise

A real path into robotics, for every Loudoun student.

No fees. No prerequisites. No assumption that your school already runs a team. We build the path where there isn't one, and we walk it alongside the families who show up.

FREE
For families

Open to every student

Summer camps, drop-in STEM events, and our Python Academy curriculum are free. If kits or competition fees are blocking a team, we fund those too through our Team Grants program.

Programs near you

We run sessions at libraries, community spaces, and any school that asks. The path doesn't depend on which building your kid happens to be zoned for.

REAL
Competition-level

The real thing
