LEGO Robots. Real Skills. Big Fun.

Fall Middle School Program Now Open

More than a sport. A sport with a future.
Robotics builds more than robots—it builds leaders, thinkers, and doers. For curious kids in Grades 5–8 who love to build, tinker, and think big.

Join LongMetal’s Fall FLL and help your child discover what they’re capable of.

Yeah, we make robots …
Sometimes they work.

  • LongMetal introduced me to a family of liked-minded students and passionate mentors - from both LHS and the wider FIRST community. Like many others, I came for the robots, but I stayed for the people. They are what made the experience so rewarding for me.
