For many Boise State students, their interest in engineering and technology was sparked by participating in a fun and engaging activity before they enrolled in college. This is why we are dedicated to bringing engineering exploration to students of all ages in our community. We partner with industry and educators to create interactive learning activities that connect students with engineers and computer scientists so they can learn first-hand the connection between, engineering, technology, the power of computing and our quality of life.

FIRST Robotics Team #5871 – The Chickadees
The Chickadees, FRC Team 5871, are a girl-founded FIRST® Robotics Competition (FRC) team sponsored by the Boise State University College of Engineering. The Chickadees are an inclusive team that is open to all genders, races, ethnicities, and abilities. We aim to inspire future generations in STEM by ensuring that all members take an active role in team leadership and all aspects of building the robot and running the team. This team was founded, in part, to inspire girls to enter STEM fields where they have historically been underrepresented.
