Founded in 2018, the University School of Milwaukee robotics program is a school-wide initiative that introduces students to robotics and STEAM fields through coursework and extracurricular opportunities. Utilizing the FIRST program, students of all ages are able to work and think creatively as a team to solve problems and grow academically and socially.

The USM robotics program is proud to feature:

• Two levels of robotics that overlap throughout Middle and Upper School, including FIRST LEGO League (ages 4-16) and FIRST Tech Challenge (ages 12-18).
• Numerous opportunities to learn as a team, including designing, building, coding, scouting, working on a pit crew, and so much more!
• An extensive robotics alumni network, 80% of whom have gone on to study STEAM-related fields due to the impact of FIRST Robotics.
• Mentorship opportunities with teachers, parents, and local STEAM professionals.
• An inclusive atmosphere where all forms of diversity are welcomed and celebrated.
• A 'Girls in STEAM' program aimed at creating an environment where girls can explore STEAM activities and professions without the negative influences of society.
