INTEREST MEETING

JUNE 2021

Veteran Team Astraea members will be holding an interest meeting after-school both in-person & virtually on Google Meets to explain how YOU can be a part of our family. 

The interest meeting will go over what our team does, what FIRST is, how summer training works, and what the future holds in store for you on Team Astraea. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to shoot us an email.

​

We are still working out the schedule, so fill out our interest form & check your email for an update on the date and time.

A BIT ABOUT

OUR SUBTEAMS

& SCHEDULE

Though we're all one family, we work in mechanical, non-technical, and code subteams. If you aren't sure which subteam interests you, make sure to attend our interest meeting to learn more about each subteam. 

​

• Mechanical: works to design, CAD, & build a robot during our 6-week build season

• Non-technical: secures grants & sponsorships and handles outreach & public relations

• Code: programs all functionality for the robot from basic, such as driving, to advanced, such as autonomous control

​

Throughout the entire year, all of our subteams work towards competing in the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC). From June or early summer through August, we train and welcome potential members ("summer training"). From September to the season kickoff in January, we work on technical goals to improve our team's skills to build better robots. Finally, in March and April, we take our robot to competition with robots from other FRC teams!

Since our team is especially busy over the build season, we strongly discourage participating in both robotics and a winter sport for your mental health. However, if you are interested in both robotics and a sport (over winter or another season), you can sign up for summer training anyways to get a sense of our team (and time commitment). If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out!

SUMMER TRAINING

Each year, from June to August, our team organizes lessons, mini-projects, and other activities to help introduce you to the skills/software/tools (and people!) we work with. This year, we plan to host summer training both virtually and in person, but we will finalize our meeting schedule and location after more updates to Covid-19 guidelines. Check our website and your email (after filling out the interest form) for more details later!
