WHAT IS FIRST

OUR LEARNING ENVIRONMENT

Team 342 has presented our team's history and accomplishments to our community through numerous presentations. Team 342 has also presented to the Governor of South Carolina, Jim Hodges. In addition, Team 342 presented to the Secretary of South Carolina's Department of Commerce and to various members of South Carolina's Department of Education.
Team 342 presented to the Legislators and business leaders at the South Carolina Business and Educators Exposition in Columbia. Team 342 also presented to government, colleges and school guidance counselors at the State Conference for the Bureau of Apprentice Training including a personal presentation to the National Director of the Bureau of Apprentice Training, Dr. Anthony Swope.


Team 342 has an innovative way of generating interest in science and technology. Team 342 and the Bosch Charleston Apprentice Program have created a replica of the B-9 Robot from the 1960's television series, "Lost in Space". All of the internal components of B-9 are from a previous FIRST competition robot. The B-9 robot is used to excite and inspire elementary and middle school children to consider a career in science and technology.
