Building Robots, Building People
Since 2004
Our Mission
Team 1425 is a FIRST Robotics Competition team through which our members can learn how to manage the team and build a robot for competition that meets the annual FRC challenge. However our long term goal and ultimate purpose is to inspire high school students to learn about and join communities in the fields of science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics (STEAM).
To achieve this goal, Team 1425 encourages and provides opportunities for students to learn a variety of technical skills, mentor other students in programs such as FTC and FLL, volunteer, and share our enthusiasm for FIRST throughout the Wilsonville and surrounding communities. Students will also learn important teamwork, communication, and other valuable life skills.
By building robots, we can build the next generation of STEM innovators.
How We Do It
Our Goal
To inspire high school students to learn about and join communities in the fields of science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics (STEAM).
Our Community
Share our enthusiasm for FIRST throughout the Wilsonville and surrounding communities while building lasting connections.
Technical Skills
Provide opportunities for students to learn a variety of technical skills through hands-on experience building competition robots.
Mentorship
Mentor other students in programs such as FTC and FLL, while developing teamwork, communication, and valuable life skills.
What We Believe
The Challenge
FIRST Robotics Competition combines the excitement of sport with the rigors of science and technology. Under strict rules, limited time and resources, 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.
Real-World Learning
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.
Our Values
Gracious Professionalism
We value the contributions of others and treat everyone with respect and kindness
Coopertition
We display cooperation and competition, working together even as we compete
Innovation
We embrace creativity and think outside the box to solve complex problems
