We are a FIRST Tech Challenge team based in York, PA and founded in 2014. We are a school team made up of students in grades 8 through 12 from York Country Day School.
GearHounds members not only learn engineering, programming, strategy, business, and networking skills through hands-on experience but learn about working as a team, as well as Gracious Professionalism.
The GearHounds have competed at the FIRST World Championships (2018) and have competed at the Pennsylvania State Championships for many years.
As a proud member of the FIRST community, our GearHounds family seeks to reach out and inspire others to participate in the STEM field. We have hosted multiple scrimmage competitions, mentored local FLL teams in the York area, and have helped with several fundraising campaigns.
