Our next scholarship winner has been an active member and leader of his team for 4 years. He has been described by his mentors as a shining example of gracious professionalism, the bedrock of our FIRST program. He leads by example, volunteers to complete tasks for the team, and volunteers at FIRST Regional competitions, FTC qualifiers and off season events. He is a founding member of FTC 13201 Team Hazmat, which was started by his FRC team. This student has the ability to take on and organize a project, speak effectively in public and has the math and CAD skills along with the hands on ability to actually make what he has designed. Please congratulate Zane Rothe, Team 2202, BEAST Robotics!

Our first scholarship winner is active both in Boy Scouts of America as well at FIRST Robotics. He is a team player in all respects and demonstrates great enthusiasm for science and engineering by always being curious and wanting to learn new skills. This past year he was unanimously selected by his peers and mentors to lead his team’s CAD sub team. He now demonstrates mastery of both OnShape and Autodesk Fusion 360 software. His passion for engineering is an inspiration to others. Please congratulate Noah Beveridge, Team 4787, Axiom!
