Into The Deep
Check out the Challenge
Go Into The Deep. All things science & water as we explore what our robots do - load, climb, hang, carry... Visit the link to see this year's challenge.
Each year's challenge is something new...
Have fun with us.
You can brainstorm ideas and you can build robots.
Or you can code with Java, or use graphic design or video skills to market your team (and impress judges at competitions).
There are awards for all types of things!
There are lots of friends to meet, things to learn, and skills to tackle.
-And parents, there's lots of scholarships available also.
First Tech Challenge
The entire FIRST program is known worldwide for being a great first step into the world of technology, teamwork, and creation.
The organization provides a great framework for adult mentors and student team members to work together to make amazing things happen.
Teams of 10-15 students work to make the machines, to program the action, and to document the progress.
Students also create meaningful Outreach Programs to help educate the community around them about all types of ideas related to STEM, engineering, technology, and other issues.

We'll be in touch soon!
Please Note: We are approaching team capacity for the 24/25 season. If there is enough interest, we may consider hosting a record 4th team within our program. However, additional parent help and mentors would be needed even more than usual.
Check out the 2023/2024 Challenge.
Each year's challenge is different.
New themes, rules, parts, goals, point-scoring opportunities, and more.
This year's CenterStage seems to have a zillion scoring options and builders will be challenged to focus on which capabilities to work with for the highest scores.
Thanks for joining us!
Women in STEM event 12-13-23
This program was educational and valuable for anyone looking at a STEM career in the future, girl or boy. We enjoyed all of the helpful ideas offered by our group of professional women in STEM roles of all types. Come back next winter for another great event for Women In STEM.
Meetings Tues & Thurs 6-8 pm at SRHS
- All student team members should come to meetings. It's fine if you need to be a bit late but plan to be picked up on time at the back of the school.

- 2nd Qualifier Competition in February.
