We enjoy and celebrate what we do! It’s a full house at Anderson University as we celebrate the hard work and perseverance of our teams headed to the playoffs!

Get ready for the excitement and FUN! Good luck to all.

We ❤️ our #FINfam teams who shared impact stories with state legislators to get HB 1382 to the desk of Governor Eric Holcomb so more Hoosier students have access to FIRST programs.

Tell us what you are doing in your communities to create more opportunities for youth to engage in STEM.

Our teams are making an impact within their communities. Red Pride Robotics says, “We enjoy mentoring younger robotics students so they will see that they have opportunities when they get older.”

Tell us what your team is doing to make a positive impact.

FIRST teams use creativity and persistence to solve problems. TechHOUNDS || FRC 868 say, “We are proud of our angled elevator because it allows us pick up game pieces from the ground and score at all levels consistently with just one motion.”

Tell us about your innovative solutions.

Members of Team Hammond say, “We discovered the importance of time management this season. Prioritizing that has led to a much more successful and efficient season for us.”

What is something valuable your team discovered this season?
