Cougars Gone Wired is the FIRST Robotics Competition Team 2996. We are a team working out of Coronado High School, but accept kids from across District 11. We model our leadership after the structure of a business, allowing students to interview for their position.
During pre-season (first semester), we hold meetings on Wednesdays from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM; during build season (second semester), we work Tuesday through
Friday from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM and Saturdays from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
Please contact us if you have any questions!
We split our team in half, covering technical and business responsibilities
respectively. We then split those halves further, allowing at minimum 12 leadership positions.
Students are selected for leadership through an interview system similar to ones that students
will encounter in industry.
This structure gives students an opportunity to act under management similar to a real
workplace and gain valuable leadership experience.
Although the team is student-led, we could not be what we are without mentors. Our mentors
are people who work in the STEM industry and have a passion for inspiring youth.
