High Tech Kids

High Tech Kids delivers fun, hands-on robotics programs and events that inspire over 5,900 Minnesota kids each year.

High Tech Kids organizes FIRST LEGO League Explore, FIRST LEGO League Challenge, FIRST Tech Challenge, and Summer Camps in Minnesota. Each STEM program provides an opportunity for students to have an age-appropriate fun experience to learn to program and to build.

We Need Your Help!

High Tech Kids is planning for our upcoming robotics season. Consider helping us grow our FIRST LEGO League Explore, FIRST LEGO League Challenge, FIRST Tech Challenge, and Summer Camps so more Minnesota students have access. Our fees are affordable due to the generosity of our individual donors and our corporate funders.

Creating the Next Generation of Innovators

 We believe in strengthening our communities by equipping youth with life skills for success in academic settings and future careers. 

At High Tech Kids, our robots are truly changing lives through STEM exploration. But don't just take our word for it...

"Great organization, clear directions, things ran on time. Great judges and volunteers. Wonderful experience for the kids.  The reach and impact of this program is truly amazing. Thank you so much for what I know must be a great deal of work." - Joe

"I am constantly amazed at all the kids (and I) have learned over the years.  They have become confident public speakers (tour leaders, park board, etc.) and have learned that they CAN do big things!" - Michelle

"When asked what his favorite thing was about school, one of my kids said “Robotics”! " - Lori

"We as coaches work really hard to give experiences to the team members so they can learn what they might want to do as a career. While the Engineering area is obvious area to discuss, the team has roles beyond engineering and by learning what students like to do, we create roles. I note this to identify the FTC program offers more than learning a technical career. " - Troy

"High Tech Kids continues to do an amazing job of organizing the events.  They make it fun and they make it fair. " - Tom
