Support Inner-City Robotics Team's Journey
Donation protected
We are a rookie Robotics Team competing through the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) Organization, a nationally recognized competition committed to inspiring the next generation of students to pursue careers in STEM.
As a first year team we entered the competition with modest expectations. Our students proposed the simple goal of fielding a working robot as a good benchmark for a successful rookie season for our program. Against the odds, this team has exceeded even their most ambitious expectations, taking 2nd and 3rd place at their local competitions before competing in the Mid-Atlantic regional tournament.
At the regional tournament, the team received the Rookie All-Star award, honoring our program as one of the best and most impactful first year teams in the Mid-Atlantic Region. Alongside this award the team is also offered the rare opportunity to travel to Houston for the world championship tournament.
The purpose of this campaign is to raise funds to assist with offering this experience to as many of the students in our robotics program as we can. All proceeds will benefit inner-city students, going directly to their flights, housing and transportation for the event.
We hope you will consider donating to this cause. Every little bit counts, and every donation relieves some burden from the families of these inspiring students, helping them to reach a goal that could shape their futures in science.
