The Saint Peter Area Robotics Club (SPAR) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to inspiring young people through hands-on experiences in science, engineering, and technology.
We support all levels of FIRST® Robotics programs—from LEGO-based exploration for young learners to advanced robotics competitions for high school students. SPAR provides structure, mentorship, and resources to ensure students in Saint Peter and surrounding communities can access opportunities to learn, grow, and thrive.
Our mission
To promote innovation and creativity while helping students develop essential life skills—leadership, business, teamwork, and communication—through participation in robotics-based competitions.
Since 2000, robotics in Saint Peter has grown from small LEGO classes into a thriving community where students explore science, engineering, and technology in hands-on, meaningful ways. Today, Saint Peter Area Robotics (SPAR) supports students at every level of the FIRST® Robotics program, guiding them as they discover new skills, build confidence, and form lasting connections. We’re proud to be a place where innovation meets teamwork—and where the next generation of problem-solvers is inspired to shine.
