Abhinav and Adam are both alumni of the “FIRST” Team 1014, the original “Bad
Robots” in 2005. Their participation in Team 1014 instilled a love for the STEM
disciplines and developed their lifelong friendships. Abhinav and Adam truly believe that fostering STEM education is a must for the highly technological innovation driven world of today. They know that Team 1014 prepares its students to
reap the benefits and meet the challenges of globalization and a knowledge-based
economy. They hope to help Team 1014 in this by partnering with the Dublin
Women’s Club and awarding two $1000 scholarships to Team 1014 members.
