Leadership Team

The team is split into four departments: Construction, Electronics, Programming, and Operations. Each department has leads and assistant leads, who divide up department leadership responsibilities. In addition to departments, the team has three subteams: Media, Design, and Strategy. Our whole team is led by two captains, one in charge of the technical departments and one in charge of the operations department.

Hover over each lead or captain's picture to learn a bit more about them!
