Western Massachusetts Youth Robotics

Western Massachusetts Youth Robotics (WMYR) is a 501(c)(3) organization that supports youth robotics educational programs in Western Massachusetts.

We support educational robotics programs and teams in Western Massachusetts, including but not limited to FIRST LEGO League Challenge (FLL) and FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC).

We offer immersive, hands-on FLL and FTC robotics training through focused small-group sessions designed for both new and returning teams.

The goal is to lighten the load for coaches during the FLL and FTC season, which starts in early August and September, respectively.

We train FLL and FTC coaches and mentors to help their teams reach their potential in project development, teamwork, and robot performance.

We assist elementary/middle schools and community centers in developing their FLL teams.

We partner with high school robotics teams to develop similar FLL outreach efforts for their area.

We are available to assist throughout the year, during in-season and off-season.
