Get Involved!
Interested in joining the Chargers?
We welcome students in grades 9-12 with all levels of experience—no prior robotics knowledge required!
Our season typically runs from January through April, with weekly meetings held Wednesdays and Saturdays at the Engineering & Mechatronics Lab at Jefferson High School.
We also maintain an off-season schedule of outreach events, fundraising activities, and skill-building workshops.
New members receive comprehensive training in their areas of interest and are quickly integrated into meaningful team roles.
Whether you want to work with power tools, write code, design CAD models, or manage our social media presence, there’s a place for you on the Chargers.
Show your support for The Chargers with our new 2026 Season T-Shirt!
Membership in THE CHARGERS is COMPLETELY FREE to High School Students in the Jefferson City and Jackson County area!
There are no membership dues for participation in Team #4189, and our bot is constructed each season using funds and materials donated by our local business partners. If you would like more information about our meetings during this 2026 FRC season, please reach out to us at frcteam4189@gmail.com.
And if you or your company is interested in investing in providing students in our area with the technical and interpersonal skills they’ll need as they grow into the leaders, teachers, artists and engineers of tomorrow, please consider donating to our growing team at this link, or use the following QR Code:
