FTC Team 8565 Global Championship Fundraising
Tax deductible
Greetings! We are FTC Team 8565, a community FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) Team from Plano, Texas, and we are raising funds to go to the FTC Global Championship this season. This is important to us as it is an opportunity that we get to enjoy and share with others. All funds we receive from this donation will go to our robot expenses, championship expenses, and outreach expenses. Your support will allow us to further expand our outreach program and technical capabilities, such as hosting more camps, workshops, and public demo events within the communities, inviting industry professionals, mentoring more FIRST teams, and reaching out to more teams globally.
Some of our achievements include:
- Our Coach, Fang Wang, winning the Compass Award
- Two of our team members making it to the FIRST Dean’s Finalists List
- Winning Inspire award four times
- Advancing to World Championships in 2017, 2018, and 2022
- Becoming a semifinalist captain team at the World Championships
- Being selected as Team USA for the 2021 FIRST Global Challenge, where we won the Gold Medal of the Grand Award, the Discover and Recover Award
Some of our Outreach Activities include:
- Building a mentoring ladder system where we mentor over 19 FIRST teams
- Mentoring more than 5 Boys and Girls clubs
- Teaching robotics curriculum at the Brookhaven college STEM Camp for underprivileged High school girls and IBM GIGAWOT Camp for middle school girls
