About Us

Where pigs fly

Exploding Bacon is a 4-H Club that participates in FIRST robotics. Our team has been thriving and growing since it's inception in 2006. At the first meeting that year there was a total of six kids and three adult mentors. By kickoff, which was only  the second meeting, the team had grown to ten kids, from four different schools, and roughly six adult mentors. Since then the team has grown to roughly thirty student members in twelve schools from three counties, with a plethora of college and professional mentors leading the way.

 

But, just like FIRST, Exploding Bacon isn't about building robots, this team is all about building people. Our students learn skills that will help them to become better employees and citizens. In addition to what the students learn, they participate in a wide range of community outreach projects from educational robotic demonstration events to helping those in need. Please check out the impressive list in the OUTREACH link on this site.
