ABOUT US
The Richmond High School Robotics Program provides Richmond youth with an opportunity to experience the world of science and technology in a way that expands their interest in the field. The students learn critical life and work-related skills by working side-by-side with professionals who mentor the students through the process of building a robot for FRC FIRST competition. This competition combines the excitement of a sport with science and technology.
The robot is a vehicle that allows us to inspire students. Our program helps build the confidence and relationships students need to move forward with their education and careers.
In order to build a robot, students are engaged in the following subjects:
- Math (algebra, geometry, trig, calculus)
- Science (physics, chemistry, experimentation)
- Language arts (writing, public speaking)
- Business (marketing, PR, fundraising)
- Finance (accounting)
- Computer Science (programming, 3D animation)
-Fabrication (woodworking, metalworking)
- Mentorship: Working side-by-side with professionals
- Teamwork
- Gracious Professionalism
- Cooperation
