Who we are

Banana Box is a community FIRST Tech Challenge team of fourteen students from Windham, North Andover, Nashua, and Phillips Academy. We design, build, and program competitive robots for the BioBuzz season — and we work to share FIRST with as many people as we can, from mentoring rookie teams to running events that have reached thousands of people.
