FIRST Robotics Competition

2019 was our Rookie Season with FIRST. FIRST Robotics Competition is the highest level of the FIRST Robotics organization. The mission of FIRST is to inspire young people to be science and technology leaders and innovators, by engaging them in exciting
​mentor-based programs that build science,
engineering and technology skills. 

Sisterhood

The SCA Constellations consist of young women attending    St. Catherine of Siena Academy. SCA is an all-girls high school founded in 2010. The cornerstones of our educational philosophy are intellect, faith, leadership, sisterhood and community.  FIRST fosters well-rounded life capabilities including self-confidence, communication and leadership... all things the women of SCA strive for everyday. 

About the SCA Constellations

​
WHAT IS FIRST?
                     "Combining the excitement of sport with the rigors of science and technology. We call FIRST Robotics Competition the ultimate Sport for the Mind. High-school student participants call it “the hardest fun you’ll ever have.”
Under strict rules, limited resources, and an intense six-week time limit, teams of students are challenged to raise funds, design a team "brand," hone teamwork skills, and build and program industrial-size robots to play a difficult field game against like-minded competitors. It’s as close to real-world engineering as a student can get. Volunteer professional mentors lend their time and talents to guide each team. Each season ends with an exciting FIRST Championship."

Robotics prepares you for the real world, no matter what field you are going into, whether it is engineering or not.

Our  History

The SCA Constellations Rookie year was the 2019 FRC season.
They competed in two local competitions, placing in the top 50% of the first event, playing in the playoffs, then winning the Rookie All Star Award.
At their second event the team was awarded the Imagery Award  as thier "brand" impressed the judges.  
They went on to the State Championship to compete for the RAS Award and walked away with this prestigious prize.  That honor came with an invitation to the World Championship in Detroit where the team met, learned from and played Destination Deep Space with teams from across the globe.    

This is their second season and the team consists of 15 students representing all four grades.  This year they are playing Infinite Recharge and will compete at Milford HS and Lincoln HS in Ypsilanti.  Please reach out to us or come to see them play this interstellar game!
