Team 4188, also know as the Columbus Space Program, is a First Robotics Competition team. Beyond the robot itself, CSP has a multitude of outreach organizations, including Build Brave Girls and a First Lego League team. The focus of all outreach programs is to encourage all types of people, from all walks of life, to join robotics and see all the amazing opportunities FIRST has to offer. CSP continually works to bridge social, economic, and regional gaps that would keep people from participating in FIRST. The team found Build Brave Girls, but it continually works with other teams to turn it into a world - wide social change that expands beyond the regions of Columbus, Georgia.

This team has been a part of an organization called the Columbus Space Program which is a STEM co-curricular organization that has been in existence since the year 2000. In 2002, a group of students from Carver High School were selected to fly an experiment on the Space Shuttle in its cargo bay as part of the NASA Student Involvement Program (NSIP). From 2003-2007, students from CSP won every NSIP award to fly hardware into space either on the Space Shuttle or on Orion suborbital rockets. Once that program was eliminated due to funding cuts, CSP started its own path to space in 2007 through the DREAMS program - Doing Research at Extreme Altitudes by Motivated Students. To date, DREAMS has launched over 2 dozen missions to the edge of space with science and engineering payloads.
