Westside Robotics is the supporting organization for all of the FIRST Robotics programs within the West Lafayette Community School Corporation. For more than 2 decades, we've provided hands-on, mentor-guided experiences for the 70+ students that participate in our programs each year.
We meet at the old Happy Hollow school building, located at 1200 N Salisbury Street, West Lafayette IN 47906. Door #7, around the back of the building, is our main entrance. For larger events we will also open door #9, which is closer to the Kingston Dr. drop off drive.
Our annual Butter Braid fundraiser is running until October 30 - see your favorite Westside Robotics member or place your order online here!
FIRST is the international organization that sets the rules for our teams & competitions.
FIRST Indiana Robotics is our local affiliate that runs our events & helps support teams.
