Both of my kids did FLL (upper elementary and middle school) Lego robotics and FRC (HS bigger robots).

There is also FTC for HS , smaller robots that cost less.

They learn a lot about financing a team, building a robot, computer programming, and game theory because games at FRC level are always three on three robot games.

Wish it had been around when I was a kid.
