FIRST Tech Challenge Team, 31061

Hello!

We’re Hyperdrive, a rookie FIRST Tech Challenge team located in Mason, OH. Nice to meet you!

For two years, we were just a bunch of middle schoolers with LEGO bricks in one hand and way too much enthusiasm in the other, in the world of FIRST LEGO League. We laughed, learned, coded, made many inventions, crashed our robot (a lot), and somehow always found a way to make it to the next round :)

But every story grows, and so did we. Now, we’ve traded LEGO motors for metal frames, color sensors for camera vision, and tiny gears for way-too-many-screws. Hyperdrive has leveled up into the world of FIRST Tech Challenge.

We still carry that same spark — the creativity, teamwork, and curiosity that FLL taught us. Whether it’s wiring a robot or figuring out how to make it actually move in the right direction, we’re still learning, laughing, and dreaming just as big.

So here’s to our FLL roots, our FTC future, and the amazing adventure that keeps us building, coding, and growing — one Hyperdrive at a time.

With love,
Team Hyperdrive

Our Mission

We are building a future where underrepresented communities thrive through the power of engineering and accessible STEAM pathways.

What is your why? What makes you show up for your community each day? What makes you happy? Knowing our why gives us a sense of purpose in life, and ours is that we want to share our love for STEAM (science, tech, engineering, art, and math) with everyone and anyone, because we believe that STEAM is for everyone!

Our Virtues

Empathy

Life is hard sometimes, so we understand it's important to give grace to our teammates when need be and as well as show up for everyone in their most important moments, no matter what!

Mentorship

We have tons of resources and we want to share that with the world! We also recognize that we are all not perfect so we also value the teaching of others.
