Our Mission/Vision
Our Mission
To challenge ourselves and others to achieve a higher level of learning, intelligence, and success.
Our Vision
To inspire the next generation to have the confidence and skills to pursue the field of technology and engineering and further to become those industries leaders.
ILITE
We are ILITE, the very breakdown of our name tells you who we are and what we are doing, and that is Inspiring Leaders in Technology and Engineering. To accomplish this end goal we have focused our efforts on five main aspects.
Community Service
The foundation of our team is giving back to the community around us. By doing so we are helping show the positive impact FIRST and ILITE can have on ones life. By helping others we realize how fortunate we are and can truly utilize the talents we have developed to benefit the common good.
Learning
When we are not trying to further the community we spend

endless hours trying to improve ourselves. By studying and inspiring interest in a field that is constantly evolving there is never a time where one knows everything they could know on a given topic.
Growth
We are constantly striving to grow as individuals; be it by learning how to interact in a team setting, how to take or give advice, or something new about ourselves as individuals. This is because we believe that through the growth of each member as an individual we are helping cater to the growth of a further desire to pursue knowledge in technology and engineering, as well as it helps the growth of the team as a whole.
Opportunity
Through this program we have opened the door to opportunities that many would not be able to experience without ILITE. This opportunity is due to ILITE fostering the growth of skills that allows alumni to go out and be successful in any avenue of their choosing.
Teaching
We have all been so deeply changed by our participation in this program that we wish to share what we have learned with future generations. As such we partake in many activities that allow younger children a first hand experience with technology and engineering.
