FLL: The First Lego League is a competition that challenges young people between the ages of 9 and 15 to explore the social role of engineering and technology. Several undergraduate groups develop a robot. Lego materials are used as the basis. The groups compete in a school final, the best two teams advance to the regional competition with their homemade robot and innovation project. In 2024, we even got to participate in the national finals.  

FTC: The First Tech Challenge is an annual, international robot competition. Students work together in teams of up to 15 people. They design, build and program a robot that must be both controlled and able to move autonomously. With their robot, they launch a competition and compete for prizes for creativity, collaboration, execution and performance. In 2025, students got to represent our school at the Benelux finals.
