From XRP to FIRST: Building Robotics, Coding, and STEM Skills in Schools

See how students are sparking a love for STEM with the XRP robot! In this video, middle schoolers host a robotics outreach event for younger students. They introduce them to coding, problem-solving, and real-world engineering through hands-on experience with the XRP platform.

What started as an introduction to robotics quickly became a launchpad into the FIRST Tech Challenge team. Students not only learned to program and navigate the course, they also became mentors in guiding the next wave of engineers and innovators.

The XRP robot is easy to start with, flexible for the classroom, and powerful enough to teach real coding skills in Python, JavaScript, or Blockly. It's an affordable tool for building robotics programs that grow with your students.

Whether you’re a teacher, coach, or parent looking to inspire future STEM leaders, XRP is helping schools build meaningful, lasting robotics programs.
