As our teams grow, the need for additional space becomes increasingly apparent. In 2023, we integrated the FIRST® LEGO League (FLL) and Hemlock Middle School's FIRST® Tech Challenge (FTC) programs into our space. Now, phase two is well underway, with construction nearly complete since starting in May.

The expansion of our facilities is a vital step in accommodating our growing teams. The new addition of the STEM Labs, which includes a LEGO Lab, an Electronics Lab, a 3D Printing Lab, and a Computing and Design Lab, highlights our commitment to equipping students with the skills essential for the future. The facility will also feature a lobby for additional meeting space, cold storage, and versatile areas to ensure maximum functionality.

While we're excited to open our doors soon, there’s still a lot of work to be done. We're actively developing curriculum pieces for our STEM Pilot program, designed to inspire students to pursue Computer Science education and other STEM careers. Additionally, there are still naming opportunities available for those who wish to leave a lasting impact on this project.

This expansion continues to transform our facility into a world-class center, serving as a source of inspiration for our community and region. Beyond academic growth, we are creating a space that prepares our students to tackle the challenges of the future workforce.
