Fruitport Robotics Teams
Why robotics?
In the Fruitport District, FIRST Robotics teams are in our high school (FRC), our middle school (FTC), and in our elementary schools (FLL and Jr. FLL). We are the only district with FIRST Robotics programs available at all grade levels in Muskegon County! Our district's vision is to enhance STEM education with robotics and where students of all grade levels can excel in the sciences. FIRST Robotics is the catalyst to excite our students to seek out new challenges and learn new concepts that will propel them into today's technologically driven world.
These programs are supported through corporate sponsors, fundraisers, and donations. If you would like to learn more about being a supporter, please click on the Contact Us tab.
