August - December
During competition season, the team's focus is to design, build, and program motorized robots to compete in the FIRST® Lego League competition. The competition shows students that technology fields hold many opportunities and that the basic concepts of science, math, engineering, and technology are exciting and interesting. The students design and build the robot under the guidance of the adult volunteers, and every student will be required to exhibit the team's core values of Discovery, Innovation, Impact, Inclusion, Teamwork, and Fun.
The competition season will also include supporting activities such as related field trips to visit professionals in the field, team meetings, and fundraising. Additionally, the team will participate in regional tournaments and expositions hosted by Hawaii First Robotics.

January - April
The recreational sessions are open to homeschoolers who do not participate in the competition season as well as competition team students who wish to continue focusing on robotics post-season.
The basics of engineering, coding, and robotics are taught beginning in January and ending in April or May. This learning is done primarily through special talks and interactive lessons taught by professionals or subject matter experts within the local STEM industry.
Learning is also achieved through methodically curated field trips and outings meant to inspire and engage our homeschoolers by exposing them to STEM career fields and real-world STEM projects. This series wraps with mock-tournaments to introduce new students to FIRST Lego League and keep our presentation skills sharp.

The summer camps will be a short series offered in full- and half-day packages in 5-day segments. Subjects will vary depending on interest and the expert availability. Funds raised through the summer camp program will fund the competitive teams formed in the following school year.
Dates and pricing will be determined by May, 2024.
