Team Members and Coaches

Jack Jaros
Hi, I’m Jack Jaros and I am a freshman at Hermantown High School. I joined FTC so I could continue expanding my knowledge through the F.I.R.S.T. program and have fun. I really enjoy hunting, fishing, and four wheeling. This is my fifth year in robotics. I have been in F.I.R.S.T. Lego League for 2 years and this is my third year in FIRST Tech Challenge. I love the challenge of making a robot solve challenges. I love trying to figure how to build a robot to solve a problem and figure out how to solve problems. I love all aspects of FTC.
Ethan Stephenson
Team Member
My name is Ethan and I’ve been in FIRST for four years. I am an 8th grader at Hermantown Middle School. This is my fourth year programming and building robots for FIRST. I like the logistics of programming and enjoy working with computers. I also like trying to think of solutions to robot game challenges. In my spare time, I enjoy playing video games, playing the trumpet, skiing, hiking, and reading. I’m looking forward to our second year as an FTC team.
Jonah Wright
Team Member
My name is Jonah Wright and this is my very first year in FTC and FIRST altogether. I go to Hermantown Middle School and I’m in eighth grade. I found out about FTC and the team through Jack, Mateo, and Ethan. This year I heard that the team was looking for people and I decided that I should try it. Other things that I like to do besides robotics are, ATV riding, soccer, basketball, snowboarding, snowmobiling, and water skiing.
