FRC

Seattle Academy started with a single FTC team within the FIRST league, which is the largest competitive robotics league in North America. As the program grew and Seattle Academy found success at the World Championships three years in a row we transitioned to the FRC league within FIRST, building faster and larger robots in a shorter amount of time and truly entering the “big leagues” of robotics. The FRC league pushes students to work together, learn skills, and have fun while doing it!

History

SAASquatch Robotics club was formed in 2008 as FTC team 2856 Tesseract. Since then, the club has grown from less than 10 students to over 75. We are excited to continuing compete in FRC!

Adult mentors act as engineering guides who take care of a lot of the overhead logistics but the backbone of training and support centers on Upper School Robotics Club volunteers. Adults work with Upper School students on activities, lessons, and skill building, and then everyone supports the Middle School team in achieving their goal.
