# Entry Path — Everyone Starts Here
|

Welcome to Hawk Collective 2890.
|
|
|
|
Before you touch a tool, write a line of code, or step into the shop — walk this path. It doesn't matter if you're a freshman who's never seen a robot or a senior who's been doing this for years. These three stones are for you.
|
|
|
|
They'll tell you what FIRST is, who we are, and how we stay safe.

## Stone 1 — [[first-robotics-overview|FIRST Robotics — The Big Picture]]
|
|
|
|
What is FIRST? Why does it exist? What do the competitions look like? How does the season work?
|
|
|
|
Start here to understand the world this team lives in.

## Stone 2 — [[2890-our-story|Hawk Collective 2890 — Our Story]]
|
|
|
|
Who are we? How did we get here? How are we organized? What do we actually believe?
|
|
|
|
This is the team you're joining. Know it before you help build it.

## Stone 3 — [[youth-safety|Youth Safety]]
|
|
|
|
Required reading. Shop safety, electrical safety, online conduct, FIRST Youth Protection.
|
|
|
|
Read this before you touch anything in the shop. Keep reading it until the rules aren't rules anymore — they're just how you operate.
|

## After You Finish
|
|
|
|
You've completed the Entry Path. You've earned the right to call yourself part of the team — not because you read some pages, but because you took the time to understand what you're part of.
|
|
|
|
From here, the garden branches. Your role, your interests, your questions — they guide you from here.

Or keep wandering. The paths cross.
