STEMstangs, based in Strongsville, Ohio, is a team in its seventh year comprised of nine students from Strongsville High School competing in the FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC). As part of FTC, our team members are tasked with designing, building, programming, and operating robots to perform a sequence of tasks and compete in head-to-head challenges against other teams. Participating in such an endeavor, our objective extends beyond just developing our STEM skills; we also strive to appreciate the importance of teamwork, problem-solving, innovation, and giving back to our community
