Meet Your MP - Guelph FIRST Robotics Teams & Dominique O'Rourke

​Join Guelph's FIRST Robotics teams for an informal meet-and-greet with Dominique O'Rourke, Member of Parliament for Guelph!

​Students from teams across the region, including Beaverworx, Goose Goose Duck The Hollow Knights, The Pixel Knights, St. Peter Robotics, and The Goupibots, will showcase some of their robots, share what they've built this season, and talk about the impact of STEM programs in our community.

​Whether you're a student, mentor, parent, or community supporter, come see firsthand how FIRST Robotics is inspiring the next generation of innovators right here in Guelph.

​Our enduring goal is to bring together students, mentors, educators, families, and industry leaders to see live robot demonstrations, student-led engineering projects, and examples of how robotics programs are helping develop future talent in engineering, skilled trades, software and manufacturing.

​FIRST offers STEM leadership through these robotics competitions. These programs create pathways into:

• ​STEM and skilled trades careers

• ​Leadership and teamwork development

• ​Industry mentorship opportunities

• ​Workforce readiness and innovation ecosystems

​Also: same day, evening - you may also be interested in attending the WWFIRST showcase (featuring teams across the Waterloo-Wellington region). The WWFIRST event is at Conestoga College (https://wwfirst.ca/2026-summer-showcase/).
