HSHCS Trojans
Building robots. Developing engineers. Creating opportunities.
The HSHCS Trojans bring students together to explore robotics, engineering, computer programming, artificial intelligence, competition, leadership, and teamwork through hands-on learning.
Our Team
HSHCS Trojans Robotics
The HSHCS Trojans are the official robotics team of the High School for Health Careers and Sciences. Our team welcomes students who are interested in building, programming, designing, competing, and learning how technology can solve real-world problems.
Programming
Team members develop programming skills for robot control, autonomous movement, sensors, computer vision, and intelligent systems.
Teamwork
Students build communication, leadership, documentation, presentation, and project-management skills through collaborative work.
FIRST Tech Challenge
FTC Team 26065
The HSHCS Trojans participate in FIRST Tech Challenge, an international robotics program in which students design, build, program, and operate robots for an annual competition challenge.
FTC gives students opportunities to develop technical knowledge while practicing teamwork, strategy, problem-solving, outreach, leadership, and professional communication.

Featured robotics and AI projects
Our students learn by designing, building, programming, testing, documenting, and presenting projects that combine robotics, engineering, and artificial intelligence.
01
Robotics and Computer Vision
AI Tic-Tac-Toe Robot
A robotic arm and computer-vision system designed to identify game pieces, understand the game board, make decisions, and play tic-tac-toe.
02
Artificial Intelligence
AI Object Detection
An interactive system that uses a camera and an AI model to identify and announce common objects in real time.
03
Competition Robotics
FIRST Tech Challenge Robot
Students analyze the annual FTC game, develop a strategy, prototype mechanisms, program the robot, and prepare for competition.
Robotics Curriculum
A pathway from beginner to competition-ready
Our developing curriculum will connect classroom learning, robotics club activities, engineering projects, and FIRST Tech Challenge preparation.
Foundations and Safety
Lab safety, tools, teamwork, robotics systems, measurement, and introductory design challenges.
Mechanical Design
Structures, drivetrains, gears, mechanisms, prototyping, CAD, fabrication, and iterative design.
Electronics and Sensors
Motors, controllers, wiring, power systems, sensors, troubleshooting, and safe electrical practices.
Robot Programming
Driver-controlled programming, autonomous movement, logic, debugging, telemetry, and sensor integration.
AI and Computer Vision
Image recognition, object detection, camera systems, machine learning concepts, ethics, and responsible AI.
FTC Competition Readiness
Game analysis, strategy, engineering notebooks, outreach, presentations, testing, scouting, and match preparation.
Detailed curriculum maps, lessons, student resources, project guides, and competition materials will be added as the program develops.
Become a Trojan
No previous robotics experience is required
Students can join the team to learn robotics, programming, engineering, electronics, fabrication, artificial intelligence, leadership, and teamwork.
