Empowerment is key. Students take ownership of design, building, programming, and strategic decisions. Mentors guide and teach, but the students drive the robot and the team's success.
From concept to competition, team members gain practical experience in engineering, coding, problem-solving, and teamwork, building skills for the future.
Each season brings new challenges, new learning, and invaluable skills developed through hands-on experience.
