Raider Robotics 5024 is a STEAM-based robotics team located in Midtown on Dundas Street that serves students and the local London community. The organization provides a space for students and passionate youth to learn about science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics through hands-on experience and mentorship. The team is composed of over 60 Beal students who work together to develop skills in robotics and technology while participating in city-wide outreach initiatives. The team is organized into five distinct sub-teams that contribute to the group's unified goals. These include the building and programming teams, which focus on designing and developing robot software, as well as sub-teams dedicated to strategy, public relations, and community outreach. Members gain experience in beginner and intermediate computer programming while working through various engineering challenges. Raider Robotics describes itself as an inclusive environment that seeks to make engineering accessible to everyone, regardless of their background or experience level. Established over 10 years ago, Raider Robotics has grown into one of the largest FRC teams in the London area. The organization emphasizes diversity and aims to defy gender, racial, and sexuality stereotypes within the STEAM fields. Their mission focuses on fostering a community where knowledge is shared and creativity is inspired to empower the next generation of problem solvers.
