WHY WE DO THIS?
Over the years, 6209 Venom and the Vandegrift ViperBots Robotics organization have had a primary goal to promote STEM and FIRST involvement from a young age. To inspire younger generations in the fields of science and technology is to open new doorways to the world of innovation and creativity for the future.
With this as our primary goal, our team has always made it a point to connect with younger students; this includes visiting elementary schools to promote a love for STEM through interactive projects, and also having weekly mentoring sessions with middle school FTC/FLL teams to aid them in their competitions.
By doing so, we have a chance to highlight shared experiences and also to foster a sense of community and connection with one another.
ViperBots also hosts the annual Rookie Camp to educate those willing to join the organization & engage in STEM! This includes new members interested in joining the ViperBots, ranging from incoming freshmen to seniors!
