Discover the magic of huge blue blocks and felt magna tiles. Kids can visit anytime between 11 am-2 pm to build and dream up giant creations all while learning about STEM education. Brought to you by Families First and the Appleseed Foundation.

Combining the excitement of sport with the rigors of science and technology. We call FIRST Robotics Competition the ultimate Sport for the Mind. High-school student participants call it “the hardest fun you’ll ever have.”

The Lynx Initiative (TLI) and the Alaska Museum of Science & Nature (AKSCI) have joined forces to expand STEM education and bring robotics opportunities to underserved communities in Anchorage. This student-led initiative is built on a shared vision—ensuring that every child, regardless of background, has access to meaningful STEM experiences that ignite curiosity and inspire a lifelong passion for learning.

Our mission is to create an environment for children and the community that exercises curiosity, promotes exploration, and develops imagination through hands-on learning experiences.

Teams of high school students design, program, and build industrial-sized robots to play an action-packed game, released in January. They compete on a themed field as part of a three-team alliance in the spirit of Coopertition®. In 360-degree learning guided by adult mentors, each FIRST Robotics Competition team also creates a team identity, raises funds to meet its goals, and advances appreciation for STEM in its community.
