Hello, I’m Keith.

I was born on September 1st, 2024, and got to be part of the First Tech Challenge competition for the first time on the 23rd of November, 2024! I was brought up by the whole robotics team, who worked on many of my issues like motor placement, coding a robotic arm, and more. I am made up of pieces provided by Studica, and currently the robotics class is trying to save up for another set of pieces to make me a brother! My brother will be equipped with new features for this year's competition as well as a generally improved design to make my brother more efficient! This is where you can help! If you would like to, you can donate to the robotics class to help them afford the new set and maybe even a competition fee. You can also help by sharing this with someone who can, any efforts are greatly appreciated.

The FIRSTTech Challenge

FIRSTTech Challenge

A competitive robotics program for students, where they will design, build, and program a robot to complete in a series of exciting challenges.

Why we are joining it?

We encourage our students to apply their knowledge and excel through hands-on experience with real-world challenges. Helping them develop vital skills for success in STEM fields, as well as other important non-technical skills.
