CREATE Foundation Mission Statement
To inspire and prepare the youth of today to become the engineers and scientists of tomorrow.
Welcome
Welcome to the 2023 CREATE Foundation Robotics World Championship. We are excited to have you here to help us celebrate the accomplishments of these young men and women. Whether their robots perform with perfect precision, or fall short of expectations, they are richer for having participated and therefore have already succeeded. What is learned is more important than what is won. Welcome to the celebration!
Honor by Design
We are a team. We do the work to get the job done with guidance from our coaches and mentors. We honor the spirit of friendly competition. What we discover is more important than what we win. We share our experiences with others. We honor the opportunity to compete by being respectful in everything we do. We have fun.
