• PHUHS ROBOTICS CLUB

     

    General

    The PHUHS Robotics club supports STEM and engineering-related passions by giving students the opportunity to build, program, and document robots, as well as engaging in community events, through competing in the FIRST Tech Challenge, where we have amassed impressive regional, state and international recognition.  Historically, we had three teams competing, but over time we have expanded to six teams for the 2023- 2024 season, allowing over 90 members to join.  Our meetings are held in room 11-203 every Wednesday and Friday from 2:00 – 5:00pm. Anyone is welcome, and no experience is necessary!
