Westlake FTC Mission Statement
Westlake FTC Robotics will inspire dedicated high school students to learn real-world STEM skills in an exciting and fun environment that values teamwork and that emphasizes the value of both team members and competitors. Students learn engineering, communication, cooperation, and project management skills to discover and execute their own plans in pursuit of a solution to the yearly FIRST challenge. Competition fuels the intensity shared among the FTC students, but “winning” is not the overriding goal of the program. The pursuit of team-driven goals, the respect and cooperation among students, the acceptance of both success and failure, and Gracious Professionalism are the driving tenets of the program.
