FIRST Tech Challenge Team - 23361: Cosmobotics Robotics Team is working on enriching STEM communities in the Austin area and educating all kinds of students for many years to come.
"To Conquer the Stars" - Cosmobotics Motto
FIRST Tech Challenge is way more than building robots. FIRST Tech Challenge teams (up to 15 team members, grades 7-12) are challenged to design, build, program, and operate robots to compete in a head-to-head challenge in an alliance format.
Guided by adult coaches and mentors, students develop STEM skills and practice engineering principles, while realizing the value of hard work, innovation, and working as a team.
This year's FIRST Tech Challenge Season Game is entitled INTO THE DEEP!
