ABOUT US
The Western Albemarle High School Robotics Club was founded in 2011. WAHS Robotics is more than a group of competitive teams, we are a family of students that have a passion for Science Technology Engineering and Math.
Our robotics club is comprised of three teams: Cable Management, Her Majesty's Engineers, and Loose Screws. We compete in the First Tech Challenge. It's an awesome opportunity to share our work, learn from others and have lots of fun.
We participate in outreach programs to help make STEM more accessible to all kids in our community and to deepen our own learning.
