The GEarheads team started in 2017 when all the members were in elementary school. In our first season of FLL many people were in 5th grade. Our season that year was pretty short but we learned a lot throughout, and the whole team seemed to really enjoy it. We continued FLL when many of us started 6th grade, and we were able to make it to Worlds in Michigan! We were awarded the 1st place research award! It was such an amazing experience for everyone. We moved into the 2019-2020 season, but with FTC instead. Although we ran into a lot of problems the first year, we were able to improve them and grow into the next year. We started the 2020-2021 season with a lot of power, and we had one year of experience so far which allowed us to push ourselves a lot more. The 2021-2022 season we decided to make team roles a lot more important in order for everyone to really step up to a challenge with things they enjoy. This worked very well and allowed us to check ourselves and make sure the quality of what we do is the best it can be. We ended up qualifying for Worlds in Houston! The next year, 2022-2023 we added new team members and began to focus more on our outreach. The past year 2023-2024 we continued this focus on outreach and community connections. We were graciously given a spot at Worlds in Houston that season! We were awarded the 2nd place Inspire award in our division! Finally, we are currently focusing on the 2024-2025 season. Many of our team members who have been here since 5th grade are seniors, and we hope to make the most of it. Throughout the years our team members have changed, coaches have also changed, and our struggles have changed. However, they have allowed us to grow and improve a lot as a team. We are thankful for the opportunities and resources we have been given, and all the coaches, specialists, and everyone who has worked with us.
