About Us
Northshore High School's FIRST Robotics Team, located in Slidell, Louisiana, was established in the fall of 2005 by a small group of seniors. Since then, we have expanded into a diverse family of mentoring professionals and enthusiastic students from all grades. As we implemented the values and goals of FIRST throughout the seasons, every student was able to leave the club enriched with vital science, engineering, and real-life skills. The overwhelming task of building a functioning, effective robot within six weeks challenges students to communicate, cooperate, and learn as a team. Throughout this intense timeframe team members absorb everything from project management to programming and power-drilling, dedicated to preserving science and technology. Our love for teamwork and engineering extends into the off-season with demos, volunteering, workshops, and camps throughout the state. With so many places to go and events to run, students here at Northshore discover that building the robot is only the beginning of their FIRST experience.
About FIRST
The FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) is a distinctive style of sport designed to challenge the mind instead of the body in order to help foster a love for science and engineering in young adults. Teams across the world must apply the principles of engineering to fulfill the goals of a game devised by Dean Kamen, Woodie Flowers, and other engineers. Each game is unique, with its own challenges and obstacles to overcome..Read more
