Welcome to FIRST Robotics Competition team 8032 Redshift!

The mission of the Seattle Academy Robotics program is to offer curious students a place to learn foundational skills in building, coding, design, and business administration. The program isn’t just about building a robot, rather it is about students learning how to run a team, communicate with others, and accomplish their goals for the team. For students that want to excel and commit more time they will have an opportunity to explore high engineering problems and advanced coding techniques. We believe deeply in a student run program with mentors to give support and vision. Students select from various proficiency building sub groups (called sub-teams) that include but are not limited to coding, precision fabrication, Computer Aided Design (CAD), business & marketing, and more. Through the season, students have a sense of ownership and commitment to the program through a competition that promotes applied technical learning alongside a group of mentors who facilitate the experience. 

Seattle Academy started with a single FTC team within the FIRST league, which is the largest competitive robotics league in North America. As the program grew and Seattle Academy found success at the World Championships three years in a row we transitioned to the FRC league within FIRST, building faster and larger robots in a shorter amount of time and truly entering the “big leagues” of robotics. The FRC league pushes students to work together, learn skills, and have fun while doing it!
