WormGear Warriors: History
WormGear Warriors is a nonprofit FTC team from Edwardsville, Illinois. Our coach founded Metro Area Robotics Society (MARS) as a way to keep our team sustainable. Our mission is to strive for the advancement of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics (STEAM) through working as a team and participating in FIRST robotics. We focus on empowering students to become tomorrow’s leaders by facilitating leadership opportunities, and teaching valuable skills such as engineering, working with electrical components, programming in different coding languages, and presentation experiences while working as a team. We seek out other students to participate in this activity through hosting robotics camps and doing community outreach, with the hope of leading more students to pursue STEM careers.
WormGear Warriors: Awards
Over our time as an FTC team we have received and placed for several awards such as the Inspire, Think, Connect, Control, Innovate, Design, Motivate, and Promote Awards. We have also been honored to partake in the World Championship two of our years as a team and the Illinois State Championship ten of those years.
