Robotics Club

Advisor: Anthony Gibson and Marc McLeod

Meeting Dates: Various Wednesdays 7:00-9:00 pm

Club Website: Team358.org

This club is perfect for students who enjoy hands-on, real world application of knowledge. Students will be immersed in the exciting world of engineering, and business, from fundraising to designing a “Champion robot” that will compete in the “FIRST” (“For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology”) which is a national contest.

You will gain first-hand experience in all aspects of robotic design, from conceptualization to actualization in a relatively short but concentrated time period. If you enjoy remote control toys, you will love the chance to drive the robot at the regional and possibly the national competition. This is an incredible opportunity to interact with engineers and public relation professionals from local business. In addition, you will acquire key skills in project management, which can be applied to your schoolwork and ultimately, to your future careers.
