The Cerritos Dons is an academically motivated team that seeks to further its experience in STEM by engaging in a competitive setting. Despite the fact that the majority of our team is new to this competition, we have harnessed a desire to innovate solutions and develop creative approaches to challenging problems. Despite being strangers to this program and to each other initially, we have embraced the opportunity of collaborative learning and coordinated teamwork. Now, we have an enriching background of hardware design, software development, and a rewarding capacity of critical thinking skills.
