Firestorm Robotics
Before we became Cherokee Makerspace, we were Etowah Electric Eagles, a high school robotics team.
Now, as Firestorm Robotics, kids learn how to run a robotics company that designs, builds, and programs 120-pound robots and compete with other kids worldwide. Sounds like fun? It really is!
