Introducing CSAA First All Girl FRC Team!
Introducing 9785 Alectrona, CSAA’s first all-girl FRC team. In April 2024, they impressed the world by claiming the FIRST Robotics Competition Ontario Championship title in their very first FRC competition as a team. Their outstanding performance throughout the event secured them the top spot, surpassing all competitors. We are incredibly proud of our students’ accomplishments.
What is FRC (First Robotic Competition) ?
FRC is an international high school robotics competition, with different robot games each year for students to challenge. Teams of high school students, coaches, and mentors are given six weeks to design, build, and test robots capable of competing in that year’s challenge. Teams remotely control their robots to complete the competition tasks, competing against each other. It is a competition that helps students challenge their teamwork skills, practice their problem-solving abilities, and demonstrate their knowledge in STEM and engineering.
FRC is not just about technology; it’s more like a small-scale “practical project.” In addition to learning mechanical design, programming, and automation, students will also be exposed to teamwork and communication, project management, cost control, and publicity, learning life skills while engaging in a genuine project experience.
