Power Boost For Team #16143 FIRST Tech Challenge

Help me give my students tools to design, build and engineer a robot for FIRST Tech Challenge. These tools will help students prototype and modify their design to fit the FIRST Tech Challenge robot games.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Colton's classroom raised $1,998

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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.

My Project

Team #16143 "Soup or Stars" is amazing team who loves the FIRST program! They do incredible amount of outreach supporting FIRST LEGO League teams in our county. The love of FIRST outreach is put before their own needs.

Help me give this team the Power Boost they need by acquiring power tools to support them and their robot design and build.

The team has often borrowing tools to build their robot which makes it difficult to have a robot ready to practice with and compete. The power tools will allow the students to work with precision and complete tasks in timely manner.
