My Project

We are so excited to bring a new opportunity to our small, rural school! We are starting a robotics club to compete in the FIRST FTC competition! This will be the first year that we are able to compete in this program, and I am so excited because it opens doors for our students who were not as involved in other extra-curricular events. Through grants, fundraisers, and sponsors, we have been able to get a lot of the materials we need to get started, but in order to do our best we need a few more things.

We need a back-up battery and some additional motors to help us keep up with the competition.

This will allow us to trouble-shoot on the fly at competitions and will not leave us without options should something go wrong. Help us have a great start to this robotics team, so that we can keep this opportunity open to students for years to come!
