Team Departments
Our team is designed to replicate the workings of a small business, with separate departments for each team responsibility. Each department has a department head whose job it is to manage delegation of work and ensure that all team values are being upheld. In addition to department heads, we also have a team captain, who unites all facets of the team and meets with all department leadership. Collectively, the team leaders work with the other students and mentors to build the robot, run the outreach programs, and ensure the team is functioning administratively.
