Wirecats fosters leadership and scientific curiosity in girls on the team, in the classroom, and in their daily lives. As a team, it is our mission to empower women and youth in STEM and expand the recognition of innovation and technology in our community.

Wirecats is an all-girls FIRST Robotics Competition team based in Simsbury, Connecticut. Our members attend The Ethel Walker School, an all-girls boarding and day school. Our team started out when students approached a physics teacher wanting to build a robot. With the help of FIRST and UTC, we became 1 of 2 all-girls FRC teams in New England. In only our second season as a team, we won the Waterbury district event, becoming the first all-girls team in New England to win an event, and we became the first all-girls team in New England to compete at world championships.
