About us

 

Bringing students of all experience levels together through our student-built, student-run FRC team since 2013.

 

The Iron Panthers have been representing Burlingame High School in FIRST Robotics Competition since 2013. Our team consists of over 60 students, making us the largest student organization on campus. Members of all experience levels are dedicated to developing our science and technology skills and spreading our passion for STEAM around our community. In 2019 and 2025, we won the World Championships!

Our mission is to unite students to promote STEAM by building a competitive robot through collaboration, leadership, and perseverance. Beyond competition, we are dedicated to giving back to our community through STEAM education. In 2020, we launched Cub Central, a free program for elementary schoolers, reducing financial barriers to STEAM. In 2022, we introduced our Iron Campers summer camp to introduce robotics to middle schoolers. Besides this, we host interactive robot demos at community events, including parades, festivals, and school events.
