We’re the Iron Patriots!
A tight-knit community with a passion to spark student interest and curiosity in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields.
2025 Competition UPDATE!!!
Sacramento Regional (March 14-17) - We WON the FIRST Impact Award for the first time in our program’s history! The FIRST Impact Award is the most prestigious award that can be awarded to a team. The award honors the team that best represents a model for other teams to emulate and best embodies the purpose and goals of FIRST. The Iron Patriots were judged to have had the most significant measurable impact of its partnerships among its participants and community over a sustained period, not just a single build season.

Our Mission
The mission of the Iron Patriots Engineering program is to spark student interest and curiosity in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM)
