Who We Are and Where We're From.
Based in Falls Village, Connecticut, FIRST Robotics Team #716-- the Who'sCTEKS-- has been competing in the FIRST program for decades. We operate at Housatonic Valley Regional High School, which serves families from Regional District #1 (Kent, Salisbury, North Canaan, Falls Village, Cornwall, and Sharon).
What We Do and Why.
One of the core missions of FIRST is to celebrate STEM- related fields and prepare members for the future with skills essential for success. We try to fulfill this to the best of our abilities. Throughout the year, members learn mechanical, electrical, programming, public speaking, organization, business, and essay writing skills, among countless others. During the six-week build season, members can expect meetings almost every day to prepare for the competition season-- where both the robot and the team get put to the test with other teams in the arena and on the judges' boards.
However, there is more to the team and FIRST than just winning. The team additionally aims to inspire as many people as possible to appreciate the importance of STEM and the ideals of FIRST. Members can often be seen doing activities such as demonstrations at public events, mentoring younger children, or writing articles for newspapers.
