Truck Town Thunder Robotics team is an internationally competing robotics team. The team is made up of students and teachers from Brandon High School and Holly High School as well as members of the professional community. Many volunteers work closely with students to compete in the FIRST Robotics Competition.
The team was founded in 1998 to encourage young people's interests and participation in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) programs.

FIRST - For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology
For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology (FIRST) is a program for students aged 6-18. It is the most rewarding adventure any student, mentor, advisor or sponsor will ever undertake. FIRST is a 501 (c)(3) not-for-profit organization devoted to helping young people discover and develop a passion for science, engineering, technology,and math. Founded over 20 years ago by inventor Dean Kamen, the 2009-2010 FIRST season attracted more than 210,000 youth and more than 90,000 mentors, coaches, and volunteers from 56 countries. The annual programs culminate in an international robotics competition and celebration where teams win recognition, gain self confidence, develop people and life skills, make new friends, and perhaps discover an unforeseen career path.
