ABOUT US

Springboro Robotics was established in 2006 as an extracurricular program for Springboro students. Springboro Robotics has embraced the FIRST® family of programs to inspire young people to be science and technology leaders, by engaging them in exciting mentor-based projects that build science, engineering and technology skills. We inspire innovation and encourage personal growth in the areas of self-confidence, communication, and leadership.
