FIRST Robotics Team 692, an enthusiastic cadre of 9th through 12th graders from St.Francis High School in Sacramento, California is one of the few all girl teams in the United States. Not only do we build robots, our team also engages in web design, programming, public relations, business, and community service. Being a part of FRC (FIRST Robotics Competition) prepares us to respond to challenges, work as a team, and build self confidence. We master time management and communication skills during Build Season, when we work twenty to thirty hours a week. We work in eight sub-groups: business, field build, organization, media, community outreach, build, special events, and programming. Gracious professionalism is our way of life!

We meet twice a week in the fall and more frequently in January and February during a six-week build period and participate in regional competitions. In order to join, you must fill out an application and bring the following attributes to the table: reliability, motivation, willingness to learn new skills, a love of adventure, a drive to have fun, and a desire to show the world (and colleges) that “We Can Do It.” Students will compete with others internationally in one of the most respected and prestigious events offered to high school students. Parent mentoring and/or support in various roles is crucial.
