Our Mission
Swampbots is a local organization that aims to empower the youth of our rural communities through STEM education. By utilizing robotics, innovation, and collaboration we are equipping our future leaders with the critical skills necessary to change their communities and inspiring them to make a positive impact on the world.
WHY ROBOTICS?
Building for the Future
At Swampbots Robotics, we’re all about sparking curiosity, building confidence, and having a whole lot of fun with robots!
From hands-on building to creative problem-solving, our kids (ages 6–18) dive into the world of robotics while learning teamwork, critical thinking, and perseverance along the way. Whether they’re coding their first robot or gearing up for a big competition, every step is packed with excitement and growth.
As proud members of the worldwide FIRST Robotics league, our teams compete across Florida and even beyond, representing our small-town roots with big-time passion.
We’re based in High Springs, Florida, and we love bringing STEM opportunities to kids in our local and rural communities who might not otherwise have access.Come build with us — the future starts here!

"Robotics isn't just about kids building robots–it's about robots building kids."
FIRST® LEGO® League Explore Teams
Kids from 6-10 years old
These teams are non-competitive. This level is about focusing on the fundamentals of engineering, learning to design, code, and create solutions with LEGO® bricks and the Spike hub.
FIRST LEGO League Challenge Teams
Kids from 4th-8th grade
This competition league promotes research, innovation, problem-solving, and team work build and program an autonomous robot that navigates a game board full of missions in less than 2.5 minutes.
And that's only half of it!
FIRST TECH® Challenge Teams
Teenagers from 13-18 years old
These teams have moved out of the LEGO leagues and into building metal robots that have an autonomous and controlled portion where they compete in a 2.5 minute robot competition against (and with!) other teams.
