Founded in 1999, Team 469 Las Guerrillas is a high school FIRST Robotics team based out of the International Academy, located in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan that partakes in the FIRST Robotics Competition.

OUR MISSION

To create an   inclusive STEM environment where all students are inspired to pursue their interests, gain knowledge through doing, and develop themselves as leaders, through serving their team, schools, and communities. 

Our program includes pre-season technical  training through workshops and participation in the Oakland County Competitive Robotics Association (OCCRA). The FIRST Robotics Competition kicks off in January with a new game designed by FIRST each year. Students and mentors work side-by-side to strategize, design, and build a robot in 6-8 weeks to compete at district, state, and international events.

Outside of the competition season, our team  competes in invitational events, mentors younger students in FIRST, co-hosts the annual Bloomfield Hills All-Girls competition, and participates in community events including Walk for Wishes, Relay for Life, and Be the Match.
