Our Mission
VPCI Robotics' mission is to stimulate students and inspire a new generation of students into STEM through hands-on learning and an environment for creativity and confidence to grow.
Welcome to VPCI Robotics, the Victoria Park Panthers. We are a student run FIRST Tech Competition (FTC) program at Victoria Park C.I. operating as Teams 24484 and 24485, run by 2 mentors and over 20 students.
VPCI Robotics' mission is to stimulate students and inspire a new generation of students into STEM through hands-on learning and an environment for creativity and confidence to grow.
The primary goal of VPCI Robotics is the extension of STEM into the community, and helping students understand the importance of STEM. Beyond that, we hope to propagate the values of FIRST & VPCI Robotics into the community, provide a comfortable environment for students to learn about STEM, and create strong bonds, both within our team members, and within the community.
Starting in 2014, Team 4914 "Panthers" was established at Victoria Park Collegiate Institute with students from the school and several teacher mentors. Since then, we have won 11 FRC awards and grown in size and diversity. Today, we operate as two First Tech Challenge Teams 24484 and 24485, continuing our legacy of engaging students in STEM, providing a fun and competitive environment for them to put their skills to the test.
