• Team 67818 was born out of STEM Minds Classpack Robotics Club 2024-2025. The Robotics Club included 12 students 8-12 years old who we’re interested in Robotics and wanted to challenge themselves. The Class pack students were using Lego Spike Primet kits to learn the basics of construction and the design of robots. So, to inspire these students, High School students from St. Maximilian Kolbe CHS and  Mentors decided to work together and compete in the FLL Challenge 2024-2025 season while inspiring students in the community.

• The team plans to be sustainable as a few of the high school students and parent mentors will continue with the mission of inspiring the students from the robotics club to continue building their skills in robotics and join 67818 as they get ready. 

• STEM Minds is a social enterprise with a mission to make STEM education accessible for all. They host a number of events which are supported by High School leaders to inspire the younger students. This includes our team members who have been part of many events.

  • Aurora Street Festival and
  • many more STEM inspiration events hosted by STEM Minds.

• Our fundraising plan was based on getting sponsorship from local companies in the York Region. We submitted requests to many companies and are grateful to our sponsors.
