Be a Part of a Community Robotics Team:

The team has moved from a school setting to a community based team.  We welcome all those from the surrounding communities, whether public, private, home-schooled, or on-line school, 7th -12th grade, to come and join our team!  Our team is proud to be part of the POP (Piece of the Puzzle) Alliance started by Boneyard Robotics ” wanting teams to come together to help build a better future for all students.” in an effort to “create a more diverse and inclusive FIRST community” by helping students relate to those with autism.  www.thepopalliance.org.  Our team is also part of the FIRST Like a Girl program that encourages females in the STEM fields, firstlikeagirl.com.  The team  personifies Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion to allow students from all walks of life to be able to participate in a safe and judgement free environment.  

The team participates in outreach events to spark interest in robotics and engineering in others.  Becoming a community team gave us the ability to look at new avenues to continue the program that gives students in our rural area the opportunity to obtain scholarships, learn new skills,  meet people from all around the state, and even the world, who have a connection to FIRST Robotics.

Team members are expected to be at meetings, travel to competitions & participate in roles to help the team succeed, willing to learn new things and bring their own ideas to the table.  Looking for 7th-12th grade students who need an outlet for their creativity.  Looking for students interested in robotics, scholarships, public speaking, writing, history, computer science, coding, social media, photography, safety, art, and much more.  IT’S NOT JUST ABOUT ROBOTICS!
