About the Spiders

We are SpiderByte and SpiderBits!

​​

We build and program robots for the FIRST Tech Challenge, while learning about STEM principles and skills needed in many careers. We learn about Java programming, business management and finance, engineering, writing, public speaking, and overall professionalism.

​

Aside from working with our robots, we promote empowerment and encourage STEM-related careers. We do outreach in the FIRST community AND our local communities.

​

And we learn new things every day!

Our teams are open to 12 - 18 year old students.  For more information about First Tech Challenge eligibility please see the First Chesapeake website. To join our teams' first-come first-serve waitlist, please reach out through email using the link below.
