Since 2014, our robotics program has seen consistent growth in the size and commitment of our team, and in our achievement at the FIRST Robotics Competition.
We are part of an urban, public school and are committed to creating an equitable and non-cost-prohibitive program for our students.
Sponsor contributions keep the program active and accessible to all of our student members. Please help us keep our promise to our students and our program to grow.
Having the right materials is one of the first steps in building a great robot, and every year, we need raw materials to construct our increasingly complex designs. The sheet of aluminum will allow the students to make complex robot parts. The batteries are what powers the robot!
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
