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.
