While the team number has been around for a long time, it was previously associated with Liberty High School. After the school’s team disbanded in 2012, it was converted into a community team so anyone from the area could join – to include those from public & private schools, as well as those who are home schooled. The new team is in their ninth year and has new members from the Westminster, Finksburg, and Eldersburg areas within Carroll County.
We are associated with PIE3. Partnership for Engineering Education and Entrepreneurship, or PIE3 for short, is a 501(c)(3) Not For Profit dedicated to inspiring K-12 kids about Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics though robotics programs in Carroll County and surrounding areas. It sponsors FIRST Robotics Teams in four levels covering the entire K-12 spectrum.
