• PHUHS ROBOTICS CLUB


    General

    The PHUHS Robotics club supports STEM and engineering-related passions by giving people the opportunity to build, program, and document robots, as well as teaching robotics and engaging in community events, through competing in the FIRST Tech Challenge, where we have amassed impressive regional, state and international recognition.  Historically, we have had three teams competing, but we expanded to five teams for the 2019-2020 season.  Our meetings are held in room 11-203 and the meeting schedule for this year is flexible, so everyone is encouraged to apply to join.  No experience is necessary.

    • Attending many community events, such as Third Friday in Safety Harbor and the Synapse Entrepreneurial Summit at Amalie Arena
    • Engaging the passions and shaping career decisions of hundreds of students across the school, many of whom have been extremely successful in STEM well beyond the high school level (one of our members was even recognized as a Dean's List Semifinalist for his dedication to engineering, teamwork, and outreach).
    We give all students the opportunity to learn and compete on incredibly successful teams and welcome anyone into the club; as one of the most accomplished clubs at the school, we believe our club is great for every passionate student interested in STEM fields.
