Crevolution is a robotics team from Sterling Heights, Michigan, that is composed of students from the Utica Community Schools District. Each year, we build a robot to compete in a game designed by the
FIRST organization, and have a lot of fun doing so.
FIRST is an organization that encourages the world to learn more about science, math, and technology, and helps prepare students to be leaders in these important fields.
Over the past several years, not only has Crevolution been a successful robotics team, but also a force in the community. We have held charity fundraising events, mentored FIRST Lego League Teams, and even helped out with Habitat for Humanity.
Crevolution stands for "A Creative Revolution". We like to live by that motto in helping to transform our culture into one where science and technology is celebrated.
FIRST is a robotics organization whose mission is to "inspire young people to be science and technology leaders, by engaging them in exciting mentor-based programs that build science, engineering and technology skills, that inspire innovation, and that foster well-rounded life capabilities including self-confidence, communication, and leadership". FIRST was founded in 1989 by inventor Dean Kamen and has changed the lives of thousands of students, mentors, and volunteers ever since. One of the many values FIRST that its members live by is Gracious Professionalism, the concept that competition doesn't have to include negativity towards the opponent. FIRST not only teaches about technology, but also how to act throughout life.
