Greetings from FRC Team 3799, Electric Fire! We are a competition robotics team at NDHS. We design, build, wire, program, test, & drive robots; we teach STEM to kids; we learn about really cool technology (like 3D printers & drones); we spread the joy of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, & Math) in our school & the community; we gain resume-building experience; we strategize gameplay; we laugh a lot; & we do so much more! Robotics is a great place for skill-building, making friends, & having fun.
Regardless of whether you are interested in design, programming, building, wiring, volunteering, writing, art, web design, animation, photography, presenting, historical documentation, or even social media, there is a place for you! We encourage you to get more involved! For more info, contact Mrs. Barkley This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
Join Us!
Grades 9-12: Come join the Notre Dame FIRST Robotics Competition team!
Help design, build, program, and operate a robot to participate at local competitions. Express your creativity, hone your cunning strategy, learn new skills, and help ND have a fun and successful FRC season.
The team is coached and mentored by local engineering professionals.
Pre-Season starts in September; season kickoff is early January; competitions are in March and occasionally April.
