Project Artemis

Project Artemis

Project Artemis is a workshop that is open to all female-identifying and nonbinary individuals who are currently in middle school and are interested in learning about robotics. The workshop is led by female Cupertino Robotics students and aims to introduce/further the girls’ knowledge of robotics. Our goal is to decrease the gender gap in robotics by sparking girls’ interest in Robotics in middle school, and providing them with resources & guidance to stem their careers as future engineers.

Season Timeline

  • Fall Workshop: October/November

  • Spring Workshop: Sometime around March/April

Applications for the 2024-2025 school year are now closed!

FRC, short for FIRST Robotics Challenge is the final ascension in the FIRST program, aimed at students of all grade levels (9-12). In 6-weeks, students are challenged to design, machine, build, and code a robot to compete in that season’s FRC challenge. At Cupertino Robotics, Team 2473 Goldstrikers operates with the guidance of FRC mentors. Students learn the principles of engineering, mechanical design, computer vision, and software.

FRC does not focus solely on the technical aspect of robotics. PR, Business, and Outreach are also key parts of Team 2473 Goldstrikers. Students organize and volunteer at various outreach events, where they spread the values of FIRST and inspire more kids to pursue careers in STEM.

Team 2473 Goldstrikers meet six times per week for 2 hours at a time in the roboshack.

Season Timeline:

  • Summer Training: Two-hour meetings twice per week throughout the summer

  • Offseason: August - January

  • Season Kick-off: First week of January

  • Tournaments: In March

  • Last team meeting: week after the last tournament

Become a Mentor

Mentors are a vital resource for our teams and are essential to our programs. Along with their expertise in a robotics or business related field, they also help simulate a work environment through helping us schedule, meet deadlines and act professional. Promoting safety is also an important part of a mentor's job. 

Mentors are in no way "stuck" to one part of robotics. All our mentors often circulate between all parts and divisions of our team helping anyone they can. They also do not have to commit to being there at every meeting and competition. Any time that mentors are willing to spend with us is greatly appreciated.

Become a Sponsor

At Cupertino Robotics, our primary goal is to ensure that all 220 members in our organization are given the opportunity to embrace robotics in a hands-on manner. We also make it a point to build public interest in the field of robotics and spread our values, such as gracious professionalism and coopertition, to the community. Accomplishing this requires a lot of funding ($95,000 in 16-17 academic year) which is why we are grateful for any contribution to our club.
