Contribute
Like other school-sponsored extracurricular clubs, Pioneer Robotics must raise the funds needed for our activities.
Monetary Contributions
The annual cost of participating in the internatioonal FTC competition is substantial. There are registration and tournament fees, travel, equipment and parts specific to the game challenge and materials for the outreach and service projects. The club membership fee is kept low to provide accessibility to all.
Like a real-world start-up, Pioneer Robotics makes presentations to potential corporate sponsors. The experience of interacting with engineering professionals introduces team members to future careers and demonstrates the connections between our work and real-world engineering challenges. Sponsors see the value of investing in a program that builds the STEM, collaborative problem-solving and communication skills they want in future employees.

To compete at the state, regional and international levels, our team needs to build relationships with individuals with expertise in engineering design, Java programming and the equipment, and materials for fabrication. We also need help and feedback on our community outreach activities.
