It's almost kickoff, so we better reveal our final two teams for check_in before next week's premiere!
First up, it's FRC team 2337, The EngiNERDS!!
The EngiNERDs, team 2337 are based out of the largest high school in Michigan, Grand Blanc Community High School in Grand Blanc, Michigan. Since its founding in 2008, the team has won seven district events, and won a four district Engineering Inspiration awards, two district Chairman’s awards, and a Michigan District Championship Chariman’s award in 2013. As part of their larger robotics program, students on the EngiNERDs spend on year on one of their six “junior varisty” VEX robotics teams before moving to the “varisty” FRC program, where they are eligible to earn varsity letters. Off the field, the team demonstrates their robot in local parades and fairs, runs camps and workshops on STEM, and hosts an Extra Life video and board game marathon every year, raising over $19,000 for their local children’s hospital.
