Team # 2438

Where engineering meets competition

FRC is a hands on robotics program for high school students where they work together to build and compete with large robots while learning industry applications and real world problem solving skills.

Students in FRC build a wide range of skills, including engineering design, 3D CAD, programming, fabrication/manufacturing, electronics, teamwork, communication, leadership, and project management. Our program helps students build confidence, STEM interest, and adaptable workforce skills that prepare them for future education, careers, and leadership opportunities.

During the season, the team has six weeks to design, fabricate, build, program, and test their robot to meet the objectives of the season’s theme. Each year, Team 2438 competes in two regional competitions against teams from across the world.

FIRST Impact

The FIRST®  Impact Award honors the team that best represents a model for other teams to emulate and best embodies the mission of FIRST. It was created to keep the central focus of FIRST Robotics Competition on the ultimate goal of transforming the culture in ways that will inspire greater levels of respect and honor for science and technology, as well as encouraging more of today’s youth to become science and technology leaders. 

The ʻIolani Impact program highlights how ʻIobotics uses robotics to make a positive difference beyond competition through student leadership, outreach, and expanding STEM opportunities in the community. It reflects the team’s commitment to inspiring others, serving the community, and creating a lasting impact through education and innovation.
