About
NEIA Robotics is New England Innovation Academy’s FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) team. As part of FRC, we compete in yearly challenges to design and build a robot and compete against rival teams from across the world. Founded in the fall of 2023, we are a rookie team for the CRESCENDO competition. Our team has about 15 students and 2 mentors but is constantly looking to grow.
What is FIRST?
FIRST, which stands for “For the Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology,” is a worldwide organization dedicated to training the innovators of tomorrow. In FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC), students design and build a robot to compete in an annual challenge. FRC combines the real-world problem-solving of the robotics industry with the competitiveness and teamwork of traditional sports, all to create teams that run like cutting-edge tech startups. In FRC, students engineer, collaborate and problem-solve their way to new solutions. To learn more, visit FIRST’s site here.
