EnTech 281

"infiltrating young minds one robot at a time"

EnTech is a nonprofit organization that promotes engineering and technology through after-school programs offering students of various ages the opportunity to participate on one of our FIRST robotics teams, and through our outreach programs.   The core of our organization is FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) Team 281 - the GreenVillains, the oldest team in South Carolina.   But through the years we have expanded our program to reach more students.   We added a FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) team (originally FIRST Vex Challenge) in 2005 and a FIRST LEGO League (FLL) team in 2006 to allow younger students the opportunity to participate sooner and more fully.   Then in 2010, in order to accommodate more interested students, we added a second FLL team.
