Botmasterz

Botmasterz 9255 High School

We are the all girls combined Grosse Pointe High School team - We code, build robots, compete, and work to impact our community! As the only all girls team in Michigan that does not come from an all-girls school, we proudly have 23 dedicated members from both Grosse Pointe High Schools. We also have 8th grade girls from our local middle schools who "play up" a year to give them an extra year of experience. Robotics combines the thrill of sports and the excitement of STEAM, and we love sharing our passion with the world!

Competition-

Our season consists of two district competitions, where we compete in ~12 out of 80 qualifying matches. If we score high enough during qualifyers, we earn a spot in semi finals and thenf finals. At each competition, there are around 40 teams from across the state of Michigan. If we do well enough at each competition and receive enough ranking points, we can reach the state level! At the state competition, 160 teams attend and compete to qualify for the World Championship. Held in Houston, TX, the World Championship hosts 600 teams from across the world to compete. Close to 80 teams from Michigan qualify for the world level, and we are proud to have earned the right to attend States 3 times out of our first 4 seasons!

Impact-

Botmasterz works tirelessly to leave a lasting impact on our community and every person we reach. While our mission focuses on women in STEM, we also include all kids of any gender in our outreach events. All of our girls attend as many events that we are involved in as possible and connect with kids of all ages and backgrounds. We work with other robotics teams to host and entertain kids, while teaching them about STEM possibilities they may have never known were possible. Outside of our work with kids, we also attend many events that include parents and adults in their activities, teaching them about STEM today and its possibilities for the future. Every community event we attend or host furthers our goal of FIRST for all, and our hope that we lift others as we climb.

Working with our Local Government-

We at Botmasterz believe that the funding we receive from our government is essential to how we function. As a new and small team, the funding we get from the state and local governments helps our team tremendously. We strive to stay connected with our local and national government. Having met with many city mayors around us, we aim to inform them about the impact of FIRST and the future that education through FIRST represents. We have had many city mayors attend our events, as well as a congressman. We have even hosted a current senator in our build space, and presented our work to him. Whether it is at the local, state, or national government, we attempt to make the FIRST mission known and appreciated.
