A First Tech Challenge team, ready to explore every aspect of STEM (Trumbull, CT)
The Team
We look to explore and invent.
The Legacy
Our team legacy is being carried on by new, and younger members. We are ready to fail and learn from our mistakes, share our knowledge, and explore mentorships, and outreach opportunities.
Our Beliefs
Learning never exhausts the mind.
Knowledge Sharing
We firmly believe that everyone should have the opportunity to learn, and we want to be apart of giving out that knowledge. “The secret of getting ahead, is getting started” – Mark Twain. The only way for us to continue the legacy is starting anew, and learning from our mistakes. We have to keep persevering, and learn from others to spread our own knowledge for the entire world to offer.
