History

Gadget Girls, team 4816, was founded in 2012 by Girl Scouts North Carolina Coastal Pines in Raleigh, NC. At the time we were the only all-girls team in North Carolina. Our first season was in 2013 - Ultimate Ascent. In 2019, we decided to become a Girl Scout troop as well as an FIRST Robotics Competition team. Robotics specialty troop, troop 4816, began in March of 2020. Currently we are one of three all-girls team in North Carolina and the only Girl Scout team.

In 2016 we were awarded the Imagery Award at both the Wake County and Campbell University district events. We have also won THOR (Thundering Herd of Robots, NC off-season event) in 2015 and 2016. 

This year, 2023, we have reached our highest membership yet - 20 students!

Mission Statement

As Girl Scouts, our team strives to inspire middle to high school girls to participate in STEAM-based activities such as robotics. By joining our team, girls have the opportunity to grow their curiosity, be creative, and build their problem-solving skills through robotics. We believe that every girl can not only have fun but develop a motivation to make the world a better place.
