Meet Our Leaders

Team 1671 is an organization lead solely by students who aspire to be future leaders, entrepreneurs, and innovators.
Listed below are the 2025-2026 leaders of the Buchanan Bird Brains.

How Do We Select Our Chiefs and Directors

Each of our Student Leaders undergo a week long process that begins with creating an application for the position(s) they desire to get and cover letter and ends in an 20 minute interview with a group of mentors, coaches and significant alumni. This group then chooses the leaders they think will benefit the team the best.
