Who is Port PiraTech?
Port PiraTech Robotics Club at Port Washington High School is a club that participates in a competition run by the FIRST® Robotics organization. PiraTech works throughout the season to make a fully functional robot that will then compete in the current year’s game, while also pushing the ideals of Gracious Professionalism®, teamwork, learning, and gaining valuable experience. Everybody has a great time throughout the season, and the reward of having a working robot at the end of the season is highly fulfilling. There is never a shortage of things that need to be done, and the team is always welcoming to new members that are interested in joining.
