WELCOME
We're Batteries Not Included, the two FTC teams from Mt. Bethel Christian Academy!
One of our team's goals is to inspire children and young adults to pursue higher education in STEM fields and get involved in robotics and the sciences. Each summer, we host a student-led Girls in STEM camp where we do fun activities across STEM, from chemistry to biology to robotics. We also connect with FLL teams and middle schoolers by incorporating enthusiastic eighth graders into our program and helping cultivate their skills in STEM.
Another one of our goals is to be continuously involved in our community and teach others about FTC and our team. From teaching kids how to drive different robots, creating our own mascot, and building custom outreach bots like cars or Santa sleighs, we strive to educate our community about FIRST Robotics and who we are as a team. Some events we host include our school's Back-to-School Bash, a local church’s Preschool Fall Festival, and a Christmas parade at our elementary school. Through our impacts on our community, we demonstrate that we are more than just a robotics team. We are first and foremost children of God, but we are also innovators, inspirers, creators, and a family.
