Families in Sherwood Park, Alberta, have a final opportunity to register children for spring robotics programs as the 2025-2026 season enters its last phase. According to the Sherwood Park Community & Area Info group, this is the last call for parents to sign up their kids for these science and technology activities.

The programs are organized by FIRST and focus on building skills in design, coding, and team-based problem solving. Students aged 9 to 14 can participate in the Lego League, while older youth can join the Tech Challenge teams.

This year, the international organization has set the theme for the FIRST LEGO League Challenge season as UNEARTHED. Participants use these themes to guide their work as they build and program robots for local competitions.

This season is also the final year that the organization will offer the specific Class Pack model for its Tech Challenge program. Parents looking to get their children involved in this year’s educational opportunities are encouraged to complete registration soon to ensure a spot on a local team.
