Mission Statement


“Our mission is to create interest, involvement, and understanding of engineering and technology. We encourage critical thinking, creativity, and diligence to achieve tasks, and strive to work together to overcome challenges. We endeavor to promote the development of real-world skills through hands on experience in the engineering and design process, teaching and training, involvement in a team-based organization, and public presentations.”

Who Are We?

We are a group of highly motivated Billerica Memorial High School students who, with the help of generous mentors, are seeking to educate ourselves through hands-on, direct experience in the disciplines of engineering: mechanical and electrical, and motion control software. Our team operates as a small business, giving us insight into fields such as marketing, sales, accounting, and media production, with an added emphasis on personal integrity and a smart work ethic. We are counting on these experiences to help us select a career path that will enrich our lives and the lives of those around us.
