Welcome to Lindblom Robotics! Beginning with our FIRST Competition Team 1781 and expanding to a robust multiplatform robotics program, our program seeks to help students develop an understanding of problem-solving, design, and collaboration by working on an array of robotic platforms.
Based at Lindblom Math and Science Academy, our robotics team includes introductory to advanced robotics programs including FTC, FRC, Robotics Courses, and participation with community teams in the Chicago Robotics Alliance. Through this cohort, we work to empower students and adults alike to embrace technology and use it to improve individual and communal outcomes.
Lindblom Robotics strives to prepare students for leadership roles through project-based learning with the latest technology and a collaborative design process mentored by industry professionals. Together, we develop creative solutions, embrace Gracious Professionalism, and work to empower our community through STEM-based education opportunities.
Team 1781 is the flagship program for Lindblom Robotics. Students design, build, and program large-scale robots to compete in FIRST Robotics Competition.
High school students are able to gain the experience by designing, building, and playing with robots in FIRST Tech Challenge.
Lindblom is a major supporter of FIRST LEGO League. We ran multiple teams for almost a decade and continue to host tournaments and team development sessions for CPS Elementary Schools and Communinity groups across the city.
The Chicago Robotics Alliance is a cohort of Robotics teams across Chicago that works to empower students, mentors and communities through the development of shared resources, training, and community outreach.

This section includes links to the training sights we have built as well as designs and resources we share to help students wherever they might be.
From the Machining and Forge classes of the early 1900's to the Advanced Manufaturing and Rapid Prototypoing Labs of today, Lindblom has always been at the cutting edge of technology, design, and fabrication. Learn about the equipment and resources helping students innovate and redefine what it means to prepare for the future.
The Lindbot is a low-cost open hardware robotics platform that introduces students to the fundamentals of robotics, electronics, mechanical design, and programming through hands-on activities, design challenges, and the use of rapid prototyping and advanced manufacturing technology.
We are stronger as a community, and we are infinitely grateful for the community partners we have. Learn more about the Professional, Educational and Social Sector partners that make up our coalition.
