My Project

We have many students eager to learn and create! Since 589 is a student-led team, students decide what goals to pursue with mentors and coaches advising as needed. By providing students with tools to build a robot, we can support all of their ambitions and facilitate engineering!

These tools will help students design and work through programming brainstorming on larger, mobile whiteboards; tools and tape for assembling robot design concepts; and 3D printer filament for rapid prototyping.

They'll learn all about Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math throughout the season while learning how to team build and work together.

It's going to be an exciting year; we're happy to have you be a part of it!
