Ponytail Posse team photo

The Ponytail Posse is an all-ladies team of FIRST alumni from St. Paul, Minnesota, USA. We participated in FIRST LEGO League (FLL) from 2009-2014 and FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) from 2014-2018. Thanks to our experiences in programs, we have graduated high school with a head-start in our chosen career paths. These fields include engineering, computer science, entrepreneurship, graphic design, and more.

 

OUR STORY

Our coach was volunteered for the local elementary school FLL program by his wife. When his daughter became old enough to join the program a couple of years later, she called up a few friends and formed what is now the Ponytail Posse. We participated in FLL for five years and transitioned to FTC when we entered high school. Today, we have seven members, three of whom were part of the original group. Though our team is now retired, each of us remain active in the FIRST community as volunteers and mentors.

 

POSSE ADVENTURES

During our nine years of being an active team, we traveled together several times to compete. We wrote blog posts and created videos to document these adventures.
