the circuitrunners


team 1002. the circuitrunners.
We are a group of nearly 100 students at Wheeler High School in Marietta, GA, interested in engineering and robotics. In the five years of this organization’s existence, it has grown considerably and is now able to reach out to a wider variety of students. One third of the members are female, and a significant portion represent other minority groups. This program helps to foster an excitement for engineering in high school students and allows those students to reach out and help younger students feel that same excitement. The CircuitRunners are well-known throughout the school and community, especially among other robotics teams, and have formed partnerships with a variety of organizations.Although the teacher mentors help organize the team, the student members of the CircuitRunners team are an integral part of the running of this program.
Six student leaders oversee the actions of different sections of the organization; these leaders include the FRC team leader, the FTC team leader, the BEST team leader, the Fundraising/ Outreach team leader, the FLL team leader, and the Technical team leader. Each team leader ensures that all work in their category is completed, and a student president keeps the entire club running. Over the years, the CircuitRunners have competed in numerous robotics events and won a variety of awards. Although the hard-working members of the CircuitRunners contribute greatly to this success, much of this past success has been due to the generosity of local sponsors and the help of mentors. Without sponsors and mentors, the team could not exist. Of course, the CircuitRunners do not only build robots. Members of the CircuitRunners have participated in various outreach events around the community, helping others to gain an appreciation for engineering and robotics. Because the community has given so much to the team in past years, the CircuitRunners make every attempt to give back to the community.
