Although I'm a mentor for 1024, I've also mentored 4580 a little bit this year. They asked me to post the following for them:
4580, the Conductors, is a small robotics team from Ben Davis High School. Our motto this year is “Little Team, Big Impact.”
This is our 4th year in FIRST, but our first really successful competition season. At the Walker Warren District event we were actually an alliance captain (before this we had never made it into the elimination rounds before!), and then at the Perry Meridian District event we won our very first award, the Industrial Design Award.
For the first time ever, we are headed to the State Championship event.
We only have about 12 students on our team, and slightly under 80% of Wayne Township is qualified for free and reduced lunch, which accurately represents our team. That doesn’t stop us from making big impact. With an average GPA of 4.45, our students are going places.
We mentor younger students in our district through our WiRES program, which introduces elementary and middle school students to STEM and Robotic activities. We hosted and managed a VEX IQ event, which all of our FRC students participated in. We partnered with the Astronomy Club for Space Day activities.
We could really really use your assistance. Our team is on a roll, and we want to continue growing and making an impact. Your donation to Brackets for Good for team 4580 will help us expand our program and continue our newfound success.
