We are a group of aspiring engineers committed to deepening our love and passion for
robotics, inspiring the next generation of students to do the same, and finding ways to give back to our
communities and support under-resourced teams. We are Team #18255, part of a non-profit 501(c)(3)
organization.
Focus Areas:
- Stealth Students - Our team includes students representing local schools:
Barrington High School, Prairie Middle School, and Burlington Central High School.
- Stealth Community - We are passionate about teaching robotics. We mentor other teams,
share our knowledge, and help others develop new skills.
- Stealth Experiences - We are a hands-on team. We gain new experiences by getting our
hands dirty, learning from our mistakes, and constantly trying new ways of doing things.
- Foster Innovation: By constantly experimenting with new ideas and technologies, we
strive to be at the forefront of innovation in robotics.
- Build Leaders: We believe in developing leadership skills within our team, empowering
each member to take initiative, make decisions, and lead by example.
- Promote STEM Education: We are passionate advocates for STEM (Science, Technology,
Engineering, and Mathematics) education. Through workshops, mentorship, and outreach programs, we
encourage young students to pursue careers in these fields.
