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.

FRC, short for FIRST Robotics Challenge is the final ascension in the Cupertino Robotics program aimed at all high school students. 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 meets six times per week for 6 hours at a time in the roboshack. We hope to offer a regular season with in-person meetings, but with the quickly changing circumstances we will have to adapt as needed. Cupertino Robotics requests a voluntary donation of $150 per child to help defray the cost of the program.

Season Timeline:

  • Summer Training: Half-hour meetings once per week throughout the summer (remote)

  • Offseason: August - January

  • Season Kick-off: First week of January

  • Tournaments: one in March

  • Last team meeting: week after the last tournament
