ABOUT OUR TEAMS
Founded in 2007,
Rock N’ Roll Robots (#25) was the first GSGLA-sponsored
FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) team. A second team,
Javabots (#5218), was formed in 2015, to accommodate more girls. FTC competitors build and program robots with advanced parts and learn many other skills such as community service, public speaking, and writing.
Our independent Girl Scout-affiliated community teams accept Girl Scouts from anywhere within the Greater Los Angeles region who are able to regularly attend meetings. Our members range from
7th to 12th grade and come from eight different school districts. There is no experience required to attend! The teams are led by a dedicated group of mentors, including engineers from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
