Oyster River Robotics 2025

We are a non-profit FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Robotics Team 8410 at Oyster River High School (ORHS) serving in Durham, Madbury, and Lee, NH. With a spirit of collaboration and teamwork, we use robotics to learn the fundamentals of design, engineering, programming, and business management.

We have an enthusiastic and growing team of over 40 students that are using robotics to develop their skills as the next generation of technology and innovation leaders. Many of the students on our team have a serious interest in future careers in computer science, electrical/mechanical engineering, biomedical engineering/medicine, and the business of technology.

• Team members are not required to have any previous experience before joining

• All high school grades can participate equally

• We are part of a tuition-free public high school

With your support, we can help our team engage, educate, and advance students in STEM. Our team is self-funded, meaning that we get limited resources from the school. As a result, sponsors, friends, and families are instrumental to our student-led team.

Through this program, students:

• Learn from professional engineers

• Master STEM skills

• Learn and use sophisticated software, hardware, and power tools

• Build and compete with a robot of their own design

• Improve teamwork, interpersonal, and communication skills

• Qualify for college scholarships

Your sponsorship will cover not only the costs of components that we directly use in the construction of a strong, competition-level robot, but also upgrading our workshop, supporting new members, and participating in competitions.

Thank you for your support!
