Crew 272 has gone all in on STEM. We are now a First Tech Challenge (FTC) Team #13414. Learn more about FTC here
Kids in 7th though 12th grade can join. We are focusing on Montgomery, Park, Vermillion and Fountain County. We meet near Wallace IN, at an Wilson Field airport hanger. From US-41 take SR-234 toward Wallace. Go Left/North 430 (also called Beaver Rd.). At the end of the road is the hanger. We will meet on Wednesday 6:30 pm to 9 pm. We will do field trips and trips to competitions. During our busy season we will possibly have other meet times.
We look forward to fostering kids as they change the world! They will learn Software, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Skills. They will work as a team! Mentored by a team of professionals, some are local kids that went on to Purdue and are now professionals. We are all excited to see what becomes of all this!
