“We enjoy and celebrate what we do!”
We are a FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) robotics team out of Santa Rosa, California. We are the only team operating in Sonoma County and we participate in the CA-NorCal North East League
Our team is a mixture of 6th-8th graders and two 5th grade apprentices who each bring unique gifts to every team training session. We believe that gender diversity and intellectual diversity are vital to the success of our team and believe that our shared mission strengthens our team’s overall performance.
We have been competing with one other middle school team and twelve high school teams, and work very hard to succeed. Our goal is to model gracious professionalism, and to enjoy and celebrate what we do, as well as model our mission statement:
“We are the Builders of Tomorrow...changing our globe one idea at a time.”
