Help me give my students the tools they need to become better competitors in their robotics competitions. We need extension cords, wrenches, screwdrivers, chain detacher, power strips and much more to become better engineers.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
Our school participated and competed in the FIRST Tech Challenge last year, and this amazing program has inspired them by creating challenging tasks that will prepare students for college as well as the workforce.
My students come from the Mission, McAllen, and Alton Area and are 9th-12th graders at our high school.
We formed the Robotics Club last year and participated in the FIRST Tech Challenge and U.S. Navy SeaPerch Challenge. I was very proud to coach them to the final rounds of regional competition. This coming school year, we plan to take things to the next level and increase our number of teams participating in the First Tech Challenge Robotics Competition.
My Project
SPHS students are excited about robotics! We have been competing in robotics for the past two years had awesome seasons. We won some and lost some and learned from our mistakes while having a great time.
This challenge helps us learn about Team Sports, Physics, Mechanics, Coding/Programming, Logic, Electronics, Engineering, and much more all while having fun.
Please help us get all the way to the FIRST World Competition by providing my wonderful students with tools and supplies to be the best at what they are passionate about. This year we want to upgrade our equipment and be some of the top competitors. We will use these tools in order to work faster and help our pit crew be able to make adjustments to our robot between rounds. Your generous donation will help us create a memorable and fun season while teaching the students valuable real-world problem solving and communication skills.
