Who we are

First Robotics Competition (FRC) Team 5563 is group of high school students at St. Mary’s in Lynn, MA. We empower students to use the model of STEM and do hands on learning. We also use this to promote awareness for STEM to our school and community.

A robotic machine with various mechanical parts, wires, and sensors, set on a red padded frame labeled '5563'. It is part of a robotics competition or exhibit, with people and displays visible in the background.

Each year we build a new robot to fit the challenge given to use by FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology). We use the robot to compete in the FIRST Robotics Competition. In addition to competing we use the robot to promote STEM and engineering careers within our school, especially with the younger elementary school kids.
