About the Robotics
The mission of The Zebracorns, a FIRST® Robotics Competition team, is to inspire and empower students across North Carolina to be exceptional innovators and leaders. Our students and adult mentors work together to learn and apply real-life multi-disciplinary skills, fundamental engineering techniques, and cutting-edge technologies through a creative design process within a culture of personal and team excellence.
The Zebracorns is a high school robotics team founded at the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics. We take students from all over the state and are open to all students! Our season runs every year from August to April where students learn about Mechanical Design, CAD, Proto-typing, Programming, communication, and virtual-reality as well as many other topics.

About the Rocketry Team
About the Rocketry Team
The NCSSM Rocketry team has two main branches, The American Rocketry Challenge (TARC) and High-Powered Rocketry (HPR) Team. In 2020-2021, NCSSM sponsored five teams in the American Rocketry Challenge, the world’s largest rocket contest with nearly 5,000 students nationwide competing each year. The contest gives middle and high school students the opportunity to design, build and launch model rockets and hands-on experience solving engineering problems. The High-Powered Rocketry team is working on an independent research project designed and constructed by the students themselves.
Outreach is incredibly important to NCSSM Rocketry, as they work with Astronomy Days at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences and attend the associated launch event. They have also supported a faculty member and students in NCSSM's Distance Education program by encouraging the formation of TARC teams that would receive technical and other assistance from our program.
