The National Robotics League Colorado offers a great opportunity for high school students to learn about robotics and engineering while exposing them to manufacturing, engineering, or industrial careers.
Join us on May 3rd for the NRL Colorado Competition. This intense battle is between two, student-built 15- pound robots in a large arena!
Watch as teams from across Colorado battle it out with the help of local machine shops who helped them to engineer and build their bot for this tough fight against other student teams.
This is an event you won’t want to miss – come see what the next generation of engineers has in store and watch sparks fly!

All proceeds will go to NRL Colorado (a 501(C)(3) charitable nonprofit). Your support will help secure the future of manufacturing in Colorado and help build a skilled, enthusiastic, and an adaptable employee pipeline. With your support, we can bridge the gap between in-school training and real-world experience for manufacturing companies.
