Welcome to the FIRST Team 2039 Website We are a FIRST robotics team for Rockford area high school students. The team is comprised of students from public, private, and home schools. We encourage students and parents to learn about more about the team! We also welcome technical professionals, machinists and engineers to join our team of mentors! Contact us for details.
How does it work? Each January the team attends a kickoff event at which time we learn about the competition game. We then have six weeks to design and build our robot. Regional competitions take place within the six weeks following build season. Regional winners may attend FIRST's National Competition in late spring. During the rest of the year, we work to educate others, pursue much needed sponsorship, and of course encourage others to follow in our footsteps by seeing what FIRST has to offer. For information on joining the team, either as a student or a mentor, please contact us. Or check the calendar for a time to see us in action. FIRST Robotics is a great opportunity for students to develop leadership skills, learn about science and technology careers, and even earn college scholarships.
