The students on the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) Team 5507 are incredibly dedicated and hardworking. The robotics team offers opportunities for students to engage in hands-on skills such as manufacturing, computer programming, and engineering, as well as fundraising and community outreach experiences. Throughout the year, the students spend hundreds of hours designing, building, and programming a robot for competition.
Over 60% of our students come from economically-disadvantaged backgrounds.
Many of the students have very little mechanical or engineering experience when they join the team, so it is fundamental that they have proper materials and support right away.
The students will design and manufacture robot parts using the aluminum sheets in this project.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
