We're BONDS 5811, a Dayton-based and student-led community FIRST Robotics team!
Our mission is to bring no-cost STEAM opportunities to 8-12 grade Dayton students through robotics. In our build season, students design, manufacture, and build a robot that competes in a sports-like challenge against other national and international teams. We also have opportunities for students interested in marketing, graphic design, photography, videography, and business!
Our team has no joining or yearly fee, and there is no attendance requirement!
Why Should I Join?
BONDS is student driven. From our robot to our offseason projects and goals, students decide what team they want to build together. Students are guided by our mentors, who are industry professionals in technical fields including mechanical and software engineering.
BONDS is hands-on learning. Students can learn and explore their passions in a number of different areas, including mechanical, software, electrical engineering, manufacturing, CAD, graphic design, business, marketing, and more!
BONDS is more than robots. From our annual overnight practice to game and movie nights, our team brings together students from all over the Dayton area to make friends, work hard, and play harder.
