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 on a Saturday in April, during National Science and Technology month, and is the culminating event of the school-year for RISF schools and classrooms.

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 which takes place at Robotics Park in the spring.

TEACHER WORSHOPS - Every summer the RISF holds week-long robotics workshops for teachers and classroom 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.
