Based at Vestal High School in New York, Southern Tier Robotics (Team 2053) stands as Broome County's sole FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) team, representing a crucial hub for technology education in our region. Our team of 20 dedicated students, guided by 7 industry mentors, builds more than just robots – we build futures.

What Sets Us Apart:

As the only FRC team in Broome County, we serve as a vital gateway to STEAM education for our community's youth. Our students don't just learn about technology; they design, build, and program industrial-sized robots that compete in complex engineering challenges. This hands-on experience transforms theoretical knowledge into practical skills, preparing them for real-world careers in technology and engineering.

Your Impact:

When you support Team 2053, you're not just funding a robotics team – you're investing in:

Direct student access to cutting-edge technology and engineering practices
Professional mentorship from experienced STEAM industry leaders
Regional economic development through local talent cultivation
Critical thinking and problem-solving skills that last a lifetime
Competition opportunities that build leadership and teamwork abilities

The Challenge:

Despite our school affiliation, we operate primarily through community support and donor contributions. Every dollar donated directly impacts our students' ability to participate, learn, and grow in this transformative program.
