Robofest - Lawrence Technological University Learn More About Robofest Involve your students in STEAM and prepare students to excel in higher education and technological careers. Robofest® is Lawrence Technological University’s world-wide robotics program for students in 4th – 12th grade. Student teams design, construct, and program their autonomous robots to compete for trophies in a variety of competitions.
Robofest’s mission is: to generate excitement & interest among young people for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM), AI and Computer Science; to develop essential skills such as teamwork, creative thinking, communication and problem solving; and to prepare them to excel in higher education and technological careers.
Small student teams can design, construct, and program the robots using any robotics kit and programming language. There are 8 engaging competition categories, some with fixed rules and unknown factors, and others in which students have complete freedom to show off any creative robotic R&D project. Founded in 1999 by LTU Professor Dr. CJ Chung, Robofest has hosted over 38,700 students from 19 United States and 39 countries.
The Robofest World Championship events are hosted on LTU's campus each May. Robofest Participants who attend LTU can apply for a $3,000 annual renewable scholarship. Members of Senior Division World Champion winning teams are awarded a certificate for up to a $20,000 annual LTU Scholarship.

Michigan 99h Robotics Competition Grant The 99h grants will provide up to $1,200 in funding for Michigan teams, money that can be spent on Robofest registration fees, training, hardware, materials, tools, travel, meals, and other team expenses.
Coaches may also receive stipends for working with their teams. Application for the 2025 season ends on December 1, 2024. In order to make this engaging learning opportunity available to more students, Robofest relies on local Site Hosts to manage official Robofest local qualifying competitions.
Site Hosts can also choose to host Open Category events. Being a Site Host provides great visibility for your organization. For schools, this is an opportunity for you to showcase your current students, staff and facility to prospective students and their parents, major media outlets, and the community at large.
If you are a community group or business, you can coordinate events to provide your staff with opportunities for STEAM Outreach in your local area. Robofest Qualifying competitions are usually only half-day (4 hour) events, since the Robofest philosophy is to keep them simple, but focused. The Robofest office provides all of the materials needed to promote and run the event.
