About Us

Team Structure

Team 2658 is built through a simple and effective leadership structure. Our team is split up into 5 different subteams: Build, Design, Software, Electrical, and Marketing/Business. Each subteam provides the training and ability for every single member and allows them to strive based on their participation and commitment to our team. Elected subteam leads manage their respective subteams and plan out their training goals. Above the leads lie the executives-President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Advisors- where managerial responsibilities are dispersed. Our mentors play an important role in our upbringing as a team, their assistance and guidance to the team's decisions and current skills.
