SMAbotics is an all-girls, FIRST Robotics team from St. Mary’s Academy. This is our eleventh consecutive year competing in the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC), and we are excited to represent SMA as the only all-girls robotics team in the state of Colorado. We are a student-led program that allows us to provide the foundational skills needed to become successful engineers in a traditionally male-dominated career. As students of SMA, we strive to uphold the Loretto values of faith, community, justice, and respect.
SMAbotics strives to cultivate young women’s passion for STEAM through leadership, collaboration, and creativity. Together, in a world led by technological innovation, we are learning to be the next generation of innovators, leaders, and change-makers from diverse backgrounds and perspectives.
SMAbotics is focused on creating connections within the local community to encourage women in STEAM through workshops and shop visits; to build a sophisticated robotic platform by purchasing advanced drive systems, manipulators, sensors, and programming; and to participate in community events for equity and inclusion.
