The Rhode Island School of the Future sponsors and produces several events during the year. Please click on the various events to the left for more information.

ROBOTICS PARK - This yearly event, which we believe to be the largest K-12 robotics event in the country, is traditionally held the first Saturday in April, during National Science and Technology month, and is the culminating event of the school-year for RISF schools and classrooms. For 2007 RP will be held on the first Saturday in May.

FIRST LEGO LEAGUE - The FIRST LEGO League (FLL) is a national robotics competition. Each year the RISF facilitates a state championship tournament. In this event, 9-14 year olds are given the opportunity to build a robot and compete in a friendly, FIRST-style robotics event.

JUNIOR FIRST LEGO LEAGUE - The Junior FIRST Lego League (JFLL) Expo is geared to children aged 6 to 9 years old and utilizes a modified FIRST LEGO League (FLL) framework. Teams of up to 6 children and an adult mentor receive a mini challenge, based on the annual FLL research project. Teams celebrate and share their experience with other teams, family and friends at the JFLL Expo.

TEACHER WORSHOPS - Every summer the RISF holds week-long robotics workshops for teachers and classrooom volunteers. During the school-year additional one day workshops may be offered.

MONTHLY RISF COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE MEETINGS - Each school-year from October through April, RISF participants come together to plan RISF events, learn new concepts and to share their practices.
