Villaciraptors 9076, a First Robotics team based in Montreal, QC, embarked on its rookie journey just last year. We started with just a handful of motivated students and mentors. Since then, we learned a lot from our experiences and challenges. We are now a team with about 40 dedicated members from grades 7 to 11. Each year, our team participates in the FIRST robotics competition, a world-wide competition for high school students.
We're dedicated to making robotics accessible to all, regardless of engineering skills. Our inclusive, safe and supportive environment encourages teamwork, respect, and lifelong skills. These values extend beyond robotics, shaping culture where every member feels valued and heard. As a new club, we welcome members with any level of experience, ensuring everyone contributes to our robot's creative process.
From modest origins, the Villaciraptors has experienced remarkable growth and success, driven by our unwavered team spirit. Starting with just 10 dedicated STEAM enthusiasts, we've been committed to fostering inclusivity for women in these fields.
In our second competition, we achieved "Rookie All Star and a "Wild Card", which led us to the World Robotics Competition.
