The students on The Robotics Team 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 the 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 tools and support right away.
My Project
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 growing.
As our team has grown, so has the need to keep all of our materials organized and our workspace clean. These storage bins, brooms, and a new ladder will help the students clean up at the end of each day and keep our tools and materials easy to find and accessible.
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
