Truck Town Thunder Robotics team is an internationally competing robotics team. The team is made up of students and teachers from Brandon High School as well as members of the professional community. Many volunteers work closely with students to compete in the FIRST Robotics Competition. The team was founded in 1998 to encourage young people's interests and participation in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) programs. Truck Town Thunder participates in accessible, innovative programs that motivate young people to pursue education and career opportunities in STEM, while building self-confidence, knowledge, critical thinking and life skills.
