We are working with schools and organizations around Texas to ensure that students have as many educational opportunities in STEM concepts as possible and to hopefully inspire them to continue the FIRST robotics legacy. We also pursue educational opportunities for our own members and school to better prepare and educate us for our future. We work with many mentors from educators to FIRST alumni to learn the most efficient method for any and all endeavors.
