TEAM DRIVEN

The most important component of Team Driven has always been the sense of family that its members develop. During the build season, students spend up to 40 hours a week at the build site. During this time students, parents, mentors, younger siblings, and even students from other FIRST teams come together to brainstorm, experiment, and learn from one another. The members of that first team established Team Driven's official creed: "Driven to Succeed." This legacy lives on in the current students of Team Driven, as well as all of the lives that they have touched... Based in Lee's Summit, Missouri, Team 1730 began in the fall of 2005 as a nameless organization. Lee's Summit High School‘s physics teacher, Jim Nazworthy, hosted a meeting for a small group of students to come and see what a FIRST program had to offer. The results of this meeting sparked a team that would go on to build numerous award-winning robots and changed the lives of hundreds of students in our community.
