As a Title 1 school in an inner urban city, these students are not receiving any financial backing for their team from the administration and this unfortunate fact is impeding their success. If they were granted the monetary aid they needed and could afford the same quality and number of supplies that most other FIRST teams have the privilege of working with, they would be able to accomplish so much more.
NohoRobo is training the next generation of engineers and exposing historically underrepresented populations to opportunities they might never otherwise get the chance to experience. These kids need more accessibility to tools, mentors, and resources. With more essential hand tools such as drills and impact drivers, more members would be able to get hands-on engineering experience working with the robot, and the team would be able to work more efficiently. Currently they only have one of each, but the work they do necessitates at least double this number. With adequate tools, they would be able to stay on track and finish their robot on time. This grant would essentially help engage more students in robotics, and their positive experiences would then encourage them to pursue STEM in college and beyond!
