My Project
Our FIRST robotics FRC Team engages students in the ultimate project-based STEM experience. Students develop and apply skills in math, computer science, physics, and engineering, as well as participating in public relations, budgeting and finance, and community outreach. Since 2014, we have seen consistent growth in the size and commitment of our team and our achievement at the First Robotics Competition. Sponsor contributions keep the program active and accessible to all of our student members.
We are part of an urban, public school and are committed to creating an equitable and non-cost prohibitive program for our students.
The 3D printer will be used to engage the students' creative side as they build parts for the competitive robot.
Please help us keep our promise to our students and keep our program growing.
