Gears for Greater Good
Through cross-discipline teamwork and outreach, we nurture agile thinkers who connect our community with inspiring and accessible STEM opportunities.
We run innovative and sustainable outreach programs throughout Metro Atlanta in order to spread STEM and integrate new audiences into FIRST programs, including the special needs community and the homeless population.

G3 competes in the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC). Under strict rules and limited resources, teams are tasked with designing, building, and programming robots to compete in unique challenges with new rules and features that change from year to year. Teams compete at regional, state, and world championship levels. Teams may also earn awards to acknowledge their community impact.
G3 hosts an annual First Lego League (FLL) tournament. FLL is a FIRST program that challenges elementary and middle schools to think like scientists and engineers. They build, test, and program an autonomous robot to solve a set of missions based on real-world problems. FLL students participate at regional, state, and world championship levels, and G3 offers local teams support during their build season.
