WBI's Mission

Our team is a collaboration of high school students, Purdue professors and students, high school teachers, professionals from the community and family members. WBI encourages students to problem solve while learning discipline, self-confidence, leadership skills the fundemental principles of science, technology, and engineering in the community.

Welcome to Westside Boiler Invasion!

Who are we?

We are a high school FIRST robotics team from West Lafayette High School in West Lafayette, Indiana who are passionate about science and technology. Since 1999, technology teacher Steve Florence has encouraged students to pursue their interests in science, engineering, and technology. Working together to accomplish tasks in such fields as technology and public relations, we work together with great synergy to excite students and the public about the teachings of FIRST.

In the words of founder, Dean Kamen, FIRST was created to

...transform our culture by creating a world where science and technology are celebrated and where young people dream of becoming science and technology heroes."

We wouldn't exist...

...if it weren't for the individuals and businesses who sponsor our program. If you would like to sponsor our team, please see the contact page.

FIRST

FIRST's mission is to engage young people in science and technology and inspire them to pursue a career in engineering. Through mentoring and teamwork, students can enhance their technology skills, as well as building self-confidence and leadership.

We do more than build robots.

Much more, in fact. FIRST robotics teams engage in outreach activities in the community, mentor the youth, and create informational animations. Learn more about our projects here.
