TNT's mission in Nevis School is to advocate for science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) curriculum in classes, educate and inform students about current technology challenges and opportunities for our program and region, and entertain with interactive robot demos across FIRST, VEX, and LEGO robotics.
We are committed to be a student forward, mentor supported team, where 'failure' is taught as a positive.
