Our mission is to provide an inclusive environment for teaching and inspiring students through mentor-based science & technology programs that engage students technically through instruction and real-world engineering challenges, and socially through teamwork, community service, and leadership.
Our teams compete in FIRST national robotics competitions. FIRST was founded by inventor Dean Kamen (inventor of the Segway) and its purpose is to inspire all youth, especially minorities and women, to pursue STEM related post-secondary education that can lead to technology sector jobs. We share FIRST’s vision “The hardest fun you’ll ever have”. We strive to teach our students the value of hard work, discipline, teamwork, and to provide lasting and meaningful relationships with engineering mentors. Because our mentors work in the technology industry, we understand the pressing national need for an educated workforce, and the need to increase the number of minorities and women in the workplace. We therefore reach out to those students who wouldn’t normally consider an engineering career.
