Who We Are:
We believe that through STEAM education (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) our students have chosen well. We are a robotics team from Bridgewater-Raynham Regional High School that is comprised of students, teachers, engineers, artists, mentors, parents, enthusiasts, and many more.
What We Do:
Every year, our team competes in several competitions, but most notably the FIRST Robotics Competition. This competition is said to be the “closest to real-world engineering” that high school students can get. Over 3,000 teams from 19 countries challenge themselves to build a robot that performs at the highest caliber. Our students must take a vision and turn it into a machine that is capable of performing tasks both autonomously and with students in control.
Why We Are Special:
We stand out from other teams because we have 25 years of experience. We have made it to the world championship several times. 100% of our students continue their education after high school and the majority of those students choose majors in STEAM fields. Many of our former students choose to “pay it forward” by volunteering with our team or at local competitions. Several alumni have helped with teams at other high schools.
What Skills Our Students Learn:
Our students learn more than just how to build a robot. They strengthen skills such as problem solving/critical thinking, leadership, organization, time-management, team building, mentoring, networking, budgeting, working with professionals etc.
Why We Need Your Help:
What we do is expensive. Besides the high cost to build the robot, competitions require registration fees, transportation, hotel rooms, etc. Each successful year depletes our funds. When we qualify for state or even world competitions, we do not want to have to tell the students that we cannot continue to compete due to funding.
