Meet Team Blitz
Team Blitz was organized in the fall of 2006. After going to
the world competition for the FIRST Lego League, a small group
inspired by the excitement and competition at the World competition,
decided to build a local team and expand their efforts into
FIRST VEX and the FIRST Robotics. Although Conifer High School
has provided access to their tech lab, our unique team is not
associated with any single school.It is is a community effort
allowing students from several different schools to participate.
While some students attend Conifer High School, others attend
Rocky Mountain Academy, West Jefferson Middle School, D'Evelyn,
and some are even home-schooled.
Although we are
in our first year, we intend to keep the club busy year round
after the FIRST competition by hosting a variety of robotics
events and summer camps in our community with the goal of inspiring
the next generation of scientists and engineers. We look forward
to a future full of robots and fun. It is wonderful that organinzations
like US FIRST provide
great opportunities to for kids everywhere..
We are grateful for all the guidance and support our mentor
team The
Fuse (link unavailable) has provided. We would never have made it to
where we are with their help.
Team Blitz is located in Conifer, Colorado.
Our team has brought students together from different schools
throughout the Hwy 285 Corridor and Evergreen to compete in
the FIRST challenge. A team of adult mentors provide a diverse
variety of technical and non-technical expertise to assist
the students in learning all aspects of robotics.. If you or
your student are interesting in getting involved with Team
Blitz, please contact us.
