About Us

Building technical skills for future leaders through robotics and hands-on learning.

Scuola Robotics is operated by Kanata Lakes Robotics Club, a federally registered Canadian nonprofit dedicated to helping students grow in confidence, technical ability, resilience, and creativity.

Our History

We are comprised of two student-led robotics teams: Scuola 24760, founded in the 2023–2024 season, and Aloucs 34855, who will make its debut in the 2026-2027 season.

Our teams are made up of many students from different schools and grades, brought together by a shared interest in robotics and innovation. Being a community-based team allows us to connect students from diverse backgrounds and create an environment focused on learning, creativity, and teamwork.

We believe robotics can be a powerful way for young people to discover their strengths, develop problem-solving skills, and learn how to work with others. Our mission is to make STEM education more engaging, accessible, and meaningful through camps, competition teams, mentorship, and community outreach.

Our Core Values

We have several main values that shape our programs so students learn and go above and beyond.

Curiosity

We encourage students to ask questions, experiment, and discover new solutions.

Collaboration

Teamwork is at the heart of everything we do, especially in FTC robotics.

Creativity

We strive to inspire innovation and original thought, especially when building robots.

Perseverance

We teach students to embrace setbacks as part of the learning process.

Respect

We create a welcoming environment, and always follow Gracious Professionalism.

Student Impact

As two student-led FIRST Tech Challenge teams, Scuola Robotics gives students hands-on experience in engineering, programming, and design while solving real competition challenges. Through this process, members build confidence, resilience, and critical thinking skills as they take ownership of projects, adapt to setbacks, and perform under pressure.

Our team brings together students from different schools to form a collaborative and supportive community. Through outreach, mentorship, and teamwork, members develop leadership, lasting friendships, and a deeper appreciation for STEM while inspiring the next generation to explore science and technology.

About FIRST and FIRST Tech Challenge

FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) is a global nonprofit that inspires young people to pursue science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). Through hands-on robotics programs, students develop technical skills alongside teamwork, problem-solving, and leadership. FIRST emphasizes real-world application, mentorship, and innovation, helping participants build confidence and prepare for future careers in a rapidly evolving technological landscape.

FIRST Tech Challenge is a robotics program for students typically aged 12–18 that combines engineering, programming, and strategic thinking. Teams design, build, and program robots to compete in an annual challenge. Beyond the technical aspects, FTC emphasizes collaboration, outreach, and innovation, encouraging teams to engage with their communities while developing real-life skills.

The 2025-2026 season game is called DECODE. You can view details on the official FIRST website.
