FIRST ROBOTIcs competition Team 45

 TechnoKats is a student-led team dedicated to promoting STEM and life skills, including creativity, critical thinking, communication, and collaboration. Members maintain the legacy of Team 45 with partnerships within the team, within the local community and within FIRST. 

 Because TechnoKats is a student-led team, student leadership positions are a key contributor to team success. There are currently four year-long, elected student leadership positions, as well as many opportunities for students to lead projects and short-term activities.  Students are supported by a head coach and three assistant coaches.

Industry mentors bring expertise and community support to the team.  Parents are also an important part of the team structure, primarily offering support at team events and competitions.
