FRC Team 1629

Why "GaCo"?

We are named the Garrett Coalition because our team members come together from two different high schools. 'GaCo' is a shortened nickname. Our colors are blue for Northern and red for Southern.

About Us

Since 2004, our team has been comprised of students from the two high schools in our county, Northern and Southern Garrett. We are based in Accident, Maryland. Our mission is to provide each young person in Garrett County and the surrounding Appalachia with the catalyst required to develop skills that are essential to be successful in STEM. Our methods or strategies include strength through partnerships, making connections, and LEGO - our tool for engaging young people.
