Hope you’re well! We are a robotics team who competes in the FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) competition. This competition had over 7000 teams and 90,000+ people competing last year. Last year some members of our team were able to make it to the World Championship and placed 12th in our division which is in the top 0.1% of the world. However, participating in FTC comes with its fair share of expenses – from robotics kits and competition fees to travel costs and outreach (volunteering) events.
Your support will enable us to:
Purchase Necessary Equipment: Robotics kits, spare parts, and tools are essential for building and fine-tuning our robots. Your contribution will ensure that we have the best resources to compete at the highest level again.
Cover Competition Expenses: FTC competitions are not only challenging but also thrilling experiences. Your support will help cover registration fees, travel expenses, and accommodations, allowing us to showcase our talents on a broader stage.
Promote Outreach Initiatives: We are committed to spreading our love for robotics within our community. Your donation will help us organize outreach events, workshops, and mentorship programs to encourage more kids to explore STEM fields.
Your donation will also be tax-deductible as we are registered as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Donations will help us cover startup costs, materials, competition fees, and get us further than last year.
We appreciate your support—it means the world to us!
