Who We Are

​

At the Florida Keys Academy of Sports and Education (FKASE), we don’t just teach science and technology, we empower youth to rise. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit rooted in the Lower Keys, our mission is to inspire the next generation of thinkers, builders, and leaders through hands-on STEM education, competitive robotics, and real-world learning experiences.

​

We believe that innovation should lift everyone. That’s why we welcome all youth; regardless of race, gender, disability, income level, or background, and proudly serve military-connected families in our community. Our students rise by building robots, coding solutions, exploring engineering, and presenting their ideas on real-world stages. Most importantly, they rise with confidence, resilience, and a sense of purpose that lasts a lifetime.

​

What began with a single LEGO robotics team has grown into a movement that champions equity, creativity, and opportunity.

​

At FKASE, we aren’t just building robots, we’re building futures. Together, we rise. Rise With Us.

​

Our Mission

​

At the Florida Keys Academy of Sports and Education (FKASE), we don’t just teach STEM, we light the spark that helps kids rise higher than they ever imagined.

​

Through LEGO robotics, hands-on challenges, and real-world problem solving, our students discover their strength, creativity, and voice. At FKASE, we’re not just building robots, we’re building the leaders of tomorrow.

​

Our Vision

​

Get ready to launch into your future! At FKASE, we’re not just building robots; we’re blasting off into a world of discovery, creativity, and endless possibilities. With LEGO, coding, and STEM, every project is a mission, every challenge is an adventure, and every kid has the power to rise higher than ever before.

​

Together, we’re turning the Florida Keys into a launchpad where ideas take flight, leaders are made, and the future begins.
