Build, code, and test
Students design and program a LEGO® robot, develop mission strategies, and improve their work through hands-on testing.
Canby Robotics is a welcoming, community-led FIRST® LEGO® League Challenge team. Students build, code, and solve problems together while growing their curiosity, confidence, and teamwork.

01 / About
Canby Robotics began with local parents looking for a way to bring LEGO® robotics to their kids. In partnership with the Oregon Robotics Tournament & Outreach Program and the Canby Public Library Maker Lab, we give students a welcoming place to experiment, collaborate, and turn ideas into working solutions.
02 / Program
The team meets Mondays from 4:30–6:00 p.m. at the Canby Public Library Maker Lab. Using the FIRST LEGO League Engineering Notebook, students work from introductory lessons toward a robot game, an innovation project, and an event presentation. Participation is free, all equipment is provided, and no prior robotics or coding experience is required.
Students design and program a LEGO® robot, develop mission strategies, and improve their work through hands-on testing.
The team researches a biodiversity challenge, creates a possible solution, and strengthens the idea by gathering feedback.
Students practice curiosity, inclusion, teamwork, and confident communication as they prepare to share their work at an ORTOP event.
03 / 2026-2027 season
The 2026–2027 BIOGLOW™ season invites students to explore a biodiversity challenge and design a possible solution. Our team will pair that innovation project with robot missions, testing, and presentation practice as we prepare to attend an ORTOP FIRST® LEGO® League event. Event date to be announced.
