Non-Milken Students/Parents

Any Milken Community Schools student (grades 6-12, included) can join Team 1836. If you are considering Milken as a middle or high school, we encourage you to visit Milken’s Admissions page to learn more about attending Milken. If you tour the school, make sure to mention you are interested in robotics so that there is ample time for you to visit our shop. Additionally, if you are interested in touring our shop at another time, you can contact us.

If you are not in the Los Angeles area or Milken is not an option for you, there are many other FIRST® Robotics Competition teams in the surrounding areas and around the world. The FIRST® Website has a complete listing. Younger students can also check out FIRST® LEGO® League Junior (6 to 10 years), FIRST® LEGO® League (9-14 years), and FIRST® Tech Challenge (7-12 grade).

Our preseason meetings begin in August and the build season begins in January. If you are interested in joining or have additional questions, contact us.
