Help send BBCHS Ironclad Robotics to 2025 FIRST Championship

We are BBCHS Ironclad Robotics! Our members gain real-world science, engineering, and entrepreneurship experience through the world’s leading STEM program, FIRST. In our club, students are challenged to fund, design, build, wire, code, and drive a robot to play themed filled games in alliance with other teams from around the world!

After our outstanding performance at the Central Illinois Regional, we just found out that we qualified for the 2025 FIRST Championship in Houston, TX! This event is the pinnacle of our robotics season—our equivalent of the Super Bowl—where we would compete against 600 of the best teams from around the world out of 3,705 active teams. Earning an invitation to this prestigious event is a remarkable achievement!

Attending Champs is a significant financial undertaking, with an estimated $20,000 needed to bring the entire team to Houston, TX. At this time, these funds are not readily available, which is why we are reaching out to our friends, family, and community for support on our journey to Champs.

Your contribution will help cover students’ travel, hotel, and meal expenses, ensuring that every team member has the opportunity to participate. At Ironclad, we are committed to fostering inclusion and equity, believing that no student’s ability to attend should be determined by their socioeconomic status.

Will you help reach our goal? We greatly appreciate any contribution big or small!
