SFHS FIRST Robotics Team, Mechanical Masterminds #7068, is launching our 3rd season by hosting an information meeting for the St. Francis community.

“FIRST Robotics was the most fun I ever had working so hard. I learned so much more than I imagined and can’t wait for next season.” SFHS Student
“FIRST Robotics was a catalyst for developing leadership skills and was undoubtedly helpful in obtaining scholarships and internships. It helped create a network with future employers and has opened so many doors for me after graduation.” SFHS FIRST Robotics Alum
“Not all students enjoy sports, music, or theater. FIRST Robotics provided a positive extracurricular activity for my child.” SFHS Parent
“FIRST Robotics has something for any interest area. Certainly, we build skills in science and technology, but also marketing, business presentations, social media, graphics, communications, project management, teamwork, and so much more.” SFHS Robotics Mentor
“We seek candidates that have been engaged in FIRST Robotics because they gain experiences that align with our values.” Industry Leader
