NURC Team - Electric Eels

We are Electric Eels and we are based in Chandler, Arizona. This is currently our second year doing NURC. We are composed of two FTC teams, BinaryBots and Da Geese of Freedom, that merged to become a NURC team. We merged these two teams because the majority of the team members had an interest in NURC. Our twelve team members help to represent over six chandler-area schools.

FTC Team 18445 - BinaryBots

BinaryBots 18445, founded in 2021 as an FTC team, was previously an FRC team for five years (2015-2020). As the pandemic ended the 2020 season early, the team switched over to FTC. We are a co-ed team, which means that anyone, regardless of gender identity, can join our team. We currently have 8 members ranging from 7th grade to 9th grade, though we accept members from 7th to 12th grade. Our mission as a team is to provide opportunities to everyone through the use of STEM and FIRST. Our team is hosted by the Si Se Puede Foundation (SSPF), which provides us with a workspace, as well as most of the materials and tools we work with. As our parent sponsor, the Si Se Puede Foundation lets us use their STEM center as a workspace. The Si Se Puede Foundation also provides a variety of tools such as 3d printers, a laser cutter, and routers.

FTC Team 18312 - Da Geese of Freedom

Da Geese Of Freedom is a gender-inclusive FTC team focusing on gender minorities and female students in STEM. Our mission is to support everyone in our community through robotics and STEM, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, race, creed, national origin, or disability. We strive to offer opportunities for STEM experience to everyone, especially gender minorities - represented by our team bows & celebrated proudly through our pronoun pins. One of our many core values is inclusion, it is our mission to make DGF and the STEM Center an inclusive sanctuary for all.
