The Northview Techno Titans (1683) is a robotics team from Northview High School in Johns Creek, Georgia. We are a non-profit organization that strives for success and growth. The Techno Titans’ mission is to improve our members by strengthening their skills and knowledge about engineering, science, and math. We strive to prepare our members for jobs in STEM fields so that we can change the world for the better. We try to achieve this by getting students interested in science, technology, engineering, and math and by getting them to experience a team environment. The Techno Titans is the equivalent of any high school varsity sports team – except with coders instead of linebackers, engineers instead of quarterbacks, and industry leaders instead of coaches. Every year, the students of the Techno Titans with the help of mentors build a robot for VEX and BEST as well as a robot for FIRST that in years past has been able to climb jungle gyms, repair space stations, build computer chips, shoot Frisbees, play soccer, play basketball, and much more. We also have the ability to connect with our community as we give demonstrations and give mentorships for the future generations. Overall we are a team that encourage all different age groups with the hopes that we are guiding the innovators of the future.
The 2017 FRC season was one of the best seasons that the Techno Titans have had in recent years. The Techno Titans made it to the playoffs in not only both district competitions, but also the state championship. The 2017 season was also the marking of a historic moment in Techno Titans history. For the first time, the Techno Titans were ranked as the #1 team at the Columbus District Qualifier. In addition, the team also won the Excellence in Engineering award at Columbus.
