We are a high school robotics team located in Toronto, Ontario. Our team participates in the FIRST Robotics Competition, an annual engineering challenge with thousands of teams from all over the world. On our team we strive to encourage innovation, foster well-rounded students, and provide them with life skills, including problem-solving, self-confidence, communication, and leadership!
WARP7 was one of the first teams in Canada to join FIRST Robotics and has been working since 2002 to inspire students and create the leaders of tomorrow. We’ve grown from a 7-member group of friends into an extensive group of students, parents, teachers, and alumni all passionate about furthering education in STEAM fields. Our mission is to go above and beyond the high school curriculum by educating students on how to design and build robotics systems using industry-standard materials, tools, and machines and to give students the opportunity to work together to problem-solve and innovate. Together, we strive to Inspire, Equip, and Expand.
As a robotics team, we focus on immersing high school students in the fundamentals of STEAM through the practical application of designing, manufacturing, assembling, and programming a robot to compete in the annual FIRST Robotics Competition. But FIRST is not just about the robots. Our team also works to spread STEAM at many outreach events in our community and through our sponsors. We work to make FIRST available to everyone through our work at local schools and businesses, providing resources and machining parts for other teams, mentoring FLL and FRC teams, sharing our facilities, and more!
