Overview

Mission

To inspire youth to recognize career opportunities in science and technology, provide youth with experience in a project-oriented activity, and obtain the funding necessary for students to participate in the for inspiration and recognition of science and technology robotics competition program.

What it reported doing in 2024

For the 2024 season we had 23 students and 15 mentors. The team competed in the central il regional in peoria il and then rocket city regional in huntsville Alabama. The team qualified for the first robotics world championship by winning both regional events and attended the first robotics world championship in houston tx. While at the competition, students lead the team by scouting, running the pit and working on the robot, and by operating the robot as members of the drive team.
