The Gigawatts STEM robotics team is a student-oriented group that competes in FIRST® Robotics Competition (FRC). FRC challenges students to design, build, and program industrial-grade robots while running their team as a business. Students grow in engineering, programming, marketing, leadership, and 21st century workforce skills that prepare them for life beyond high school and college.
