This geocache is located at the Chickasaw Nation Science, Technology,and Math Academy. The STEM Academy teaches students the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math through robotics teams and camps/classes.
Chickasaw students ages 9 - 14 build and program LEGO robots to compete against other teams in FIRST LEGO League (FLL).
The STM Academy's high school teams are open to any student, Chickasaw or not.
New high school students start off in FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) where they build and program a larger metal robot that they drive by remote control. The STM Academy has two FTC teams, Y-Not Robots, Team 4224, and Y-Not Robots Squared, Team 6780.

High school students with robotics experience can join the more advanced FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) Team 2352, Metal Mayhem. These students have just 6 weeks to build a robot that can be up to 5 feet tall and 120 pounds. They then compete with their creation in Oklahoma and other states, trying to advance to the FRC World Championship.
