About the Spiders

We are SpiderByte and SpiderBits! We are a partnership of creative all-girls FTC teams mentored by AWiT of JHU/APL.

​

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 female empowerment by encouraging girls in STEM-related careers. We do outreach in the FIRST community AND our local communities.

​

And we learn new things every day!
