Proudly hailing from the center of America, Team United States of America is honored to represent their country in the 2025 FIRST Global Challenge. From the state known for corn, wind, and cattle, our team is not only proud to be representing our country but also to be the first Nebraskan team to ever participate in the FIRST Global Challenge.

Driven by our passion for STEM, our team of six members is thrilled to compete and innovate creative solutions alongside other countries in this year’s challenge. Additionally, we are excited to show kids throughout our country the incredible possibilities they can achieve through FIRST. Our team captain and lead programmer, Caleb Kitt, is joined by our lead NTE researcher, Josie Vilkas, and our lead fundraisers and social media experts, Nicholas Miller and Braden Jensen. Alongside them are our lead designers and builders, Zachary Foecking and Noah Edwards.

This year’s theme of protecting biodiversity is incredibly important to our team. We have seen first-hand the impact of humans on natural wildlife and ecosystems. Our team is excited to innovate creative solutions alongside other teams from across the world to help balance biodiversity in our state, country, and world. By participating in this year’s FIRST Global Challenge, we are proud to be among the next generation of changemakers who will help shape and create a better world for everyone.
