2025 NAMCC Advanced Robotics - FIRST® LEGO® League Challenge

Assalamu Alaikum,

At NAMCC, we believe in nurturing not just the minds, but also the hearts and character of our youth — and what better place to do that than within the environment of the masjid?

Over the past 8 years, NAMCC has proudly led 12 successful batches of youth robotics education, benefiting hundreds of students. By hosting these programs within the masjid, we create opportunities for our children to grow in both STEM knowledge and Islamic identity — all in a safe, supportive, and spiritually enriching environment.

Building on the success of past programs and with continued interest from the community, we’re pleased to announce the 2025 NAMCC Advanced Robotics - FIRST® LEGO® League Challenge Program.

This initiative helps our youth develop essential skills in teamwork, critical thinking, and innovation — all while staying connected to the masjid and surrounded by positive role models.
