We are FRC Team 8590. We allow students to develop STEM capabilities, as well as allowing them to try out and experience different fields of STEM, and presenting them with competitions that they can help contribute, and participate in, along with assisting them in getting real-world experience.
Our mission as a student-run FRC team is to create a welcoming and encouraging environment that enables STEM students to improve their skills in robotics and the engineering process. As a student-run team, we have extra responsibilities, as we take it upon ourselves to educate new members and ensure they succeed when they eventually pursue STEM in the future.
We encourage our students to make connections and support them to make sure everyone's voices are heard in the club. Lastly, our goal is to succeed, as we can reach more people through our achievements and help more students in the future. Together, these things drive our determination and help to make our team environment the best it can be.
