The Heroes of Tomorrow (Team 67) was founded in 1997 and is based in Michigan in the Huron Valley School District, representing three high schools: Milford High School, Lakeland High School, and International Academy West. This donor-funded program brings students and mentors together to design and build a competition robot in six weeks to play a game created by FIRST.
The HOT Team’s mission is to inspire student interest in science and technology. Mentors and students collaborate to design and build projects that are evaluated at FIRST Robotics district competitions, as well as State and World Championship events.
The HOT Team has achieved significant success and is recognized as one of the top teams in the world including being inducted into the FIRST Hall of Fame. Key accomplishments include the 2005 Chairman’s Award, five State Championship titles, and three World Championship titles.
The Heroes of Tomorrow is an IRS-designated 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
If you will be in the Huron Valley School System and are interested in learning more about the HOT Team, we will have an info meeting in late April or early May. Our application process will open following the meeting and close before the end of June. Please check back for links closer to that time. Or watch our Instagram or Facebook account!
