TRYOUTS WILL OPEN MAY 2022!

• We are happy to announce that our applications will open for the 2022-2023 season in May 2022!
• The only prerequisites are enthusiasm, dedication and passion, so no prior experience is needed! During the summer, we will contact each applicant to coordinate tryout dates!
• You can find us at the Bret Harte Open House in Ms. McCurley's room to signup in person​

MORE DETAILS ABOUT APPLICATION/TRYOUTS

We are limited to a 15 member team as per FTC Robotics rules. Thus, we (current members) conduct tryouts each season to determine who will be a part of our team. Tryouts(tentatively 9am to 4pm) will be hosted at Leland High School in Mr. Kevin Tibb's room (F9) - assuming COVID-19 is no longer an issue next year - and consist of students participating in four sessions (3 challenges, 1 interview) and a presentation. Each applicant will be required to fill out an online application form prior to tryouts (general questionnaire and marking the dates that students are available to attend). At tryouts, students will be randomly assigned into groups of 3-4 which they will work with throughout the entire day.

No prior knowledge is required to attend tryouts; we are looking for students who are passionate and excited about learning in general and can conduct themselves in a professional and collaborative way.
