  • Powering Innovation: Electrical Supplies for a FIRST Robotics Team

    Funded May 31, 2025

    Thank you so much for helping our team to purchase new electrical supplies! With your support, we will be able to safely teach our students real world skills such as wiring and soldering so that they can wire our robot and keep it in good working order! We couldn't do this without donors like you!”

  • Full Speed Ahead With Swerve Drive!

    Funded May 20, 2025

    Thank you so much for helping to keep our robot swerving! We are so proud of all the hard work our students have done to incorporate this exciting new technology into our robot, and we can't wait to see what more they can learn about programming, manufacturing, engineering, and technology with your generous support!”

  • Supplies to Electrify Student Success

    Funded Feb 27, 2025

    Thank you so much for helping us purchase tools to build and repair our robot! We were able to build our robot safely and robustly because we had the right tools, as well as tools that were new and in great working condition. Because of our hard work and our attention to detail, we were able to win the Quality Award at our second event!

    Our students had such an amazing experience not only designing and building our robot, but learning how to iterate their designs and improve them over time! This creates an invaluable learning experience that we were only able to do with your help.

    We cannot thank you enough for your support!”

  • Robot Supplies for Next Level Learning

    Funded Jan 15, 2025

    Thank you so much for helping us purchase the supplies that we needed to wire, build, and control our robot! Our students were able to be creative with their design and had the tools and supplies to build exactly what they imagined. Because of your help, our team was able to build a great robot! We won our first district event, placed second at our second district event, and qualified for our region's district championship, which was our goal for the season! Our students are so proud of the robot we were able to build with the help of our generous donors!”

  • Supplies for a Creative Robotics Team

    Funded Jan 15, 2025

    Thank you so much for giving my students supplies to get creative with our robotics team's spirit and with promoting our team! My students had an amazing time this season making ocean-themed crafts to share with fellow teams. Our students made bracelets and earrings, which were a huge hit at all of our competitions!

    Your donations also helped us promote our team fundraisers and apply for awards! We created presentation boards to submit for the prestigious Impact Award. We also promoted our Paint Nite Fundraiser and our Pasta Supper.

    We created a bunch of new spirit supplies, including brand new signs to replace ones that were old and splintering.

    We appreciate your help allowing our team the opportunity to show off their creative side, make friends, and promote the team!”

  • Jewelry Supplies for a Creative Robotics Team

    Funded Dec 4, 2024

    Thank you so much for helping our students get supplies to make Jewelry for our team. Last year, we started making earrings and bracelets as a creative project for our students, and they loved it! They had such a great time creating designs for themselves to wear and to share with students on other teams in New England and around the World!

    Our students are already busy designing new earrings to match this year's theme, Reefscape. They are planning to create a purple coral reef design on our team's 3D printers that can be made into earrings. Learning about the different applications for CAD and 3D printers is a great experience for our students and pushes them to be more creative with their ideas.

    We cannot thank you enough for your support!”

  • Tools to Inspire Real World Learning

    Funded Dec 4, 2024

    Thank you so much for helping our team get new tools! Our build season kicked off a few weeks ago, and our kids are working hard in the shop to prototype and test possible mechanisms as well as machining and assembling our drive base.

    Having the correct tools gives our students the chance to learn all about design and fabrication and making sure that they are all in good working order keeps our students safe! Seeing them get the chance to make their designs a reality is so inspiring! They can't wait to take their new tools to competition and be ready to make repairs to their robot as they compete.

    We couldn't do this without your support!”

  • Whiteboards to Power Collaborative Learning

    Funded Sep 11, 2024

    Thank you so much for helping my classroom to get three rolling whiteboards! My students are really enjoying working in groups on whiteboards rather than just sitting and listening. They learn so much from thinking through challenging questions together and building their knowledge. It gives them the chance to learn logical thinking rather than just rote memorization.

    With the large class sizes we have this year, my students would not have the opportunity to continue to learn in this way without your support! Thank you for helping them learn math in a more exciting and hands on way!”

    Ms. Marr

  • Bring Student Designs to Life

    Funded Aug 15, 2024

    Thank you so much for helping to fund supplies for our CNC Machine and 3D Printer. These are very important tools for building our robot, but they are even more important in the real world where engineers are using the same tools to design and build their innovative ideas in fields from robotics to medicine to ocean exploration.

    My students are so grateful to have the tools they need to create all the parts that they design in CAD using their CNC and 3D printers. They are ready to develop these critical real world skills and use them to create their root. Having our own machine gives us the chance to design our parts, create them, test them in competition, and improve our designs, giving my students valuable experience at iteration.

    Your support is appreciated by both my students and I!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Marr

We are a high school robotics team in a socioeconomically diverse district in Connecticut where over 40% of students receive free and reduced lunch. We participate in the FIRST Robotics Competition Program. Our students spend 20+ hours a week designing, building, and programming robots with help from teachers and engineers. They also fundraise, do community service, and promote the team through social media, and volunteering. Our students are remarkable for their dedication to the team and love of the program, as well as their camaraderie. Students spend hours a day building robots and working on team projects while maintaining high academic standards and balancing other commitments. With the help of the hands-on learning opportunities offered by their robotics experience, our students go on to careers in science, technology, education, medicine, the arts, the military, and trades such as welding and machining.
