LIFE AFTER ROBOTICS
Participating year round in the Robotics program, requires students to commit to many individual and team projects, while balancing riogorous academics, family, and extra-curricular activities. For even the brightest students, longevity and committment to the demands of our program, is quite an accolade. Each graduating senior, who leaves our team, creates their own legacy while establishing life long memories and relationships. Every student makes a significant and measurable contribution to the growth and sustainability of our team, while gaining personal growth and important work-life skills. Over 75% of all FIRST® alumni are currently working in a STEM field, either as a student, or professional.
